Late Summer Arrival


Towards summer's end, we see different varieties of butterflies as they migrate through our region. Today, the lovely Painted Lady came to sample the nectar from our zinnia flowers. Very pretty, but skittish, the Painted Lady is a common butterfly, but one we don't see here all that often.

Five small "eyes" on the ventral hindwing are an identifying characteristic
