Great audio!

It’s more common than I ever realized

Thank you

I dont do facial recognition for ANYTHING

I had problems on Sat, but not today

I thought it was very cool. They are very approachable if you do it slowly. This is not taken with any sort of zoom lens.

They spend most of their time in the tree-tops, amongst the mistletoe

…..and thanks for butterflyweek. It was a pleasure to participate.

Thanks Rina, they showed up in the same spot at the same time period, year after year.

For #butterflyweek a great purple hairstreak feeding on goldenrod. These have a very interesting life history being dependent on mistletoe. #stunday 🦋 #nature #wildlife #ECK #bugsky #insects #butterfly #hairstreak 🌼

Thanks. These guys are all very approachable

Thanks, Rina 😀

They are, and can be a challenge to photograph since they seem to be very wary.

Long-Tailed Skippers are common to North Florida. Their caterpillars feed on wisteria and butterfly pea leaves. They also can be considered a pest of bean crops. #butterflyweek #nature #flyday #bugsky #insects #invertebrates #wildlife 🌎🦋

You know cold weather is over when you start to see these guys everywhere. Green anole relaxing on a leaf in my yard today. #nature 🦎 #Reptiles #lizards #wildlife #green

I need a proof reader

They are in the field guides, so i guess they do. Maybe Ive been in the wrong habitat. Have seen so many swallowtails that I don’t pay much attention to them now.

Thanks sharing! I have never seen one.😕

There are so many others!

OK, I’ll get busy!

Thanks Rina! When does butterfly week end? I have a lot more I could post.

My best photo ever is of a great purple hairstreak. I haven’t posted it yet.

My favorite group of butterflies!

Great camo on the wings
