Butterflies!

Chase and I recently went hiking at 3 Creeks. Chase didn't have much luck finding birds, but I enjoyed taking pictures of all the butterflies. So today I dug out the bug book Uncle Bo bought us and here's what I came up with. Whatever they are, I think they are beautiful, and I might try painting them someday.


Red-spotted Purple - Limenitis arthemis astyanax



Gorgone Checkerspot - Cylosyne gorgone I think?


Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - Papilio glaucus


Hackberry Emperor - Asterocampa celtis
