After hearing reports of a Red Admiral invasion to our south and actually seeing some sunshine, I checked out Kingsland Overlook in DeKorte Park for butterflies this afternoon.
All I can say is: Wow. The reports were not exaggerated. I saw 50+ Red Admirals (above), at least five American Ladies, three Question Marks and — get this — a Hummingbird Clear-winged Moth (below).
Pix of Question Mark and American Ladies follow. (Tough angles.)
As usual, beautiful shots, Jim. Thanks.
Thanks for this. I was wondering what was up with all the butterflies today. They were speeding around all over the place.
Jim, the Red Admirals are EVERYWHERE down at DeKorte and the surrounding area. I saw at least a dozen on just a short walk.
