So delicate and amazing! I’ve seen/shared 18 species of butterflies this summer to date (HERE in case you missed them).
I’m hoping to capture and share more species who will be stopping by the refuge’s Butterfly Garden and meadows for food in September and October, as they make their way south for the winter.
