Another warm and windy day ahead of the approaching cool front. The star today was this sharp Yellow Angled-Sulphur. It's been two years since we have had any though they have been reported at other sites.
A few other butterflies were carried in by the wind like this beat up female Orange-barred Sulphur.
Empress Leilia is common at Santa Ana NWR twelve miles away but they are rare in our yard. It's unusual to see one nectaring.
Another new arrival was this Dorantes Longtail.
Our local Double-dotted Skippers were in the same spots as yesterday. They seem to like the white plumbago.
And the Guava Skipper was in the same spot.
After some cooler weather tomorrow, things should warm up again. Over at Estero they had a Blomfild's Beauty and a Gold-spotted Aguna and over at Frontera they had a Red Rim so there's still some good stuff waiting to be seen in our yard.
