This Great Spangled Fritillary is the first one I've found of this species this season - last year they were all over the yard. Maybe there's hope more will appear.
Gorgeous shot of this beauty, Milanie. I too hope that the butterflies are just taking their time getting there this season. I have yet to see a butterfly in our area, but when I think about it they have never been prolific around here.
Beautiful butterfly (I like the ladybug peeking out from under the leaf too). I hope there are more coming. I have seen more Tiger Swallowtails the last two days...maybe they knew the nasty weather was coming and waited.
Beautiful Milanie! Except for the 2 I posted earlier, I haven't seen any butterflies to speak of! I planted all sorts of butterfly plants too - no skippers either. It's nice to see one here. Lovely shot!
@tara11 Hang in there - saw my first skippers today and my first sulphur in the backyard - also a black swallowtail that wouldn't land - but at least he passed through! Maybe there's hope yet.
