Made a short trip to Paris (AR) yesterday to enter some butterfly pics in a photo contest. I was surprised to see a Zebra swallowtail puddling at the Mt. Magazine visitors center. On the way home I stopped off at the Cherokee Prairie Natural Area near Charleston, AR. Lots of beautiful flowers and butterflies.
To recall, only a year ago butterflies didn't exist; now they are my passion.
1. Zebra swallowtail ( visitor center greeter)
2. Gorgone crescent ( love the arrowhead markings)
3. Orange sulphur ( usually flighty, this one posed)
4. Buckeyes (courting pair)
5, Great spangled fritillary ( beautiful & regal)
