Captured this skipper butterfly on my butterfly bush last spring. I hope to see these again soon. The butterfly bush should be blooming in a few weeks.

This is beautiful! I was surprised to see a butterfly recently.
Yes saw a Monarch butterfly yesterday and unfortunately white butterflies which are not good for the vegetables in the garden
Pam, Just saw the horrific news story from your country. So many lives lost, so sorry.
I don’t think everything is working on here yet, but nice butterfly. We haven’t seen many around here, but a few. They are always welcome.
I know everything is not working, but we wait in the dark for the light to come on. 🙁
Thank you Ann.
You sound like the moth that hung around my lamppost and then came in and laid an egg on my houseplant. I should post a picture of it on here. Pretty green caterpillar, but deadly to my Swiss Chard!
I’ve tried to upvote your post but it isn’t recording my vote. I will keep trying until it works…
an illegal voter… or no voter’s ID?
That is a beautiful butterfly.
I have been fortunate to see some butterflies all day long, unfortunately, I can’t catch them all. A sunny day for outdoor activities.
Thank you very much Albert, they are very common and always a welcomed visitor.
Pleasure is mine, Carol.
Beautiful picture. I saw a couple of butterflies.
Thanks, I cannot wait to see them later here.
What a lovely photo.No, I haven’t seen any butterflies yet this year. Hope they will arrive soon, now the weather is warming up.
Thank you Maggie, I cannot wait for this year’s butterflies.
Now I’ve already seen some butterflies, but I did not paint them because I do not have nerves
It just takes time and patience.
I have enough time…patience I have little
I understand but it takes being still until they are still.
I’m not going to quit…. I will try again
Cool! I’ve just seen moths but no butterflies :/
No butterflies this year yet, too early.
hmm impressive nice post.
Thank you very much.
No there is still no butterflies in my neck of the woods as we had another snow storm yesterday all day with big huge flakes that packed up on the streets and made them slippery. But today, despite the lack of sunshine, everything is melting as we have a 5 degree C temperature. Everybody around me is very happy to finally see the end of winter while I feel sad because I know spring and eventually summer with all its humidity are coming back. But there is one thing to say about summer, it brings all nature and animals back to life which I appreciate but I still wish it was less humid and sticky. You posted a very beautiful picture capture of a small butterfly. You must be very lucky and an adept photographer to have accomplished this one.
None here yet either. Too soon. We have tornado warnings, schools closing, crazy March weather. Glad things are melting there. I know what you mean about the humidity. I cannot tolerate it. It is always sad when seasons change, for many reasons. This skipper flits around so quickly, I had to sit awhile and wait for him to be still. He finally got used to me I guess and I snapped a quick photo. Skippers are very common here. Have a good day my friend.
