Velvet dreams

I'm uploading early. I'm actually going out tonight. Things have finally settled down in my little world and it's all good! :0)

This is a Hackberry Emperor. There are lots of them flying around this week. I'm so happy to have my butterflies back! I haven't seen a Gulf Fritillary yet, but I've got my fingers crossed.

Thank you so very much for your comments and faves on yesterday's Zebra Swallowtail!!! :0)

Gorgeous. It does look like soft velvet.
I never realized there were so many different butterflies, until I started seeing such a large variety on 365. I love it! :-)
