More Butterflies!

Took a trip down to Long Point on Sunday in search of herps.  Didn't find very many, but did get to continue my butterfly-ing.  Added a few more species to my weekend list, it now looks like this:

Monarch
Viceroy
Red-spotted Purple
Giant Swallowtail
Black Swallowtail
Cabbage White
Common Wood-Nymph
Question Mark
Eastern Comma
Red Admiral
Silver-spotted Skipper
Juvenal's Duskywing
Hummingbird Clearwing

That's a good handful of species, and without a great deal of work or searching!  It's definitely a fine time of year for our little winged friends.

I did manage a few more photos from Sunday.  It was incredibly windy at LP, which makes Lep photography challenging as all of the vegetation is swaying violently.  Nonetheless, got a few I was happy with.

Monarch (Danaus plexippus) See more...

A lovely addition to my butterfly sex collection (2).

Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) See more...

Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) See more...

Eastern Comma (Polygonia comma) See more...

Viceroy (Limenitis archippus) See more...

That's all for now, hopefully I track down some of those crafty herps in the near future!
