Still cataloging our garden visitors…

This butterfly specimen has posed with wings spread; s/he should be straightforward to identify once I get out my field guides and check online … or use BAMONA (Butterflies and Moths of North America)!

Confirmed at BAMONA as another “Erynnis juvenalis” or “Juvenal’s Duskywing”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/724360

Beautiful - looks like a fan.

What a perfect pose! Love the way she's spread out her wings for you - just like she's saying, "Hey, Thom! What am I?"

[Rick Schies]

A great shot. She is quite pretty.

You are so lucky to have so many butterflies in your garden. We have only had one so far this summer. This is a lovely composition. The colours look so good together.

Thom, this is really stunning.

[Lisa Pouncy]

She looks really furry. Sweet butterfly :o) xx

Brilliant capture. Looks like a fan!!

Now I really wish they would visit me!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I faved this one due to the plant and the color tones and THEN the butterfly on it more than the butterfly. He is cute enough, but this is a lovely photo as a whole. You seem like you have a nice garden. I don't. Maybe I can remedy that.

Beautiful shot!
