Hackberry Emperors

We went on an outside guided tour of Cahokia Mounds and I saw more butterflies than I have ever seen in one place. Two species that like humans (Hackberry and Tawny Emperors) were landing on everyone. Most people didn't even notice them, like this man who had four on his backpack.

That is fascinating! Would love to have one land on me! (Preferably a leg so I could get his picture)

Great shot. Sounds like a really fun place to visit.
