Still another gorgeous Fall day here, clear and sunny with a brilliant blue sky, temperatures hovering in the mid 60s, and a brisk, but tolerable breeze. I went out after errands and lunch to check out the Butterfly Bush, which is still blooming a little and found seven different species of butterfly:
1)
American Lady
2)
Ocala Skipper
3)
Painted Lady
4)
Common Buckeye (sharing a
raceme with a Painted Lady)
OK, I'll give it one of it's own.
5)
Monarch. We've been seeing a steady trickle of them, a few a day, presumably on their way south to the south for winter.
Another shot of a Painted Lady. Do you see the
Ailanthus Webworm Moth that snuck into the photo while I wasn't looking?
6)
Sachem skipper
7)
Clouded Sulphur. The white form (we also see the yellow form).
I was kind of impressed to find so many this late in the year.
