First Skipper of the Season

Things have been so different this year. Not even Mt. Magazine had its usual cluster of butterflies - no thistle still alive which usually attracts them. The heat and dry spell really took a toll on all the wildlife and plants

Same here. So dry! This is a beautiful butterfly, the Lantana is beautiful too. It’s accepting of the harsh weather conditions, and butterflies do love it.

Lovely colourful shot!

Milanie, it is the same here in southwest Indiana. I love butterfly pictures and we see so few. I really love the colors in your photo.
