A common Buckeye.
I am no guru on butterflies, nor do I know much about them. Only for the past three-ish years have they been victims of my camera, and my knowledge of them does not go far beyond what I personally have noticed in my own little world. I've seen many of these buckeyes this year, but only one prior, whereas the fritillaries are down, monarchs and swallowtails seem to be up, and a couple other of the types of butterflies seem to be down. I would have guessed a fair consistency year after year, but maybe variances occur significantly, are just regional, or it just happens to be my narrow path of experience and awareness?
