Was out at our local NABA park on Sunday and saw a rare (for our area) Gold-Spotted Aguna. We only see lone individuals usually during the fall season. The Long-tailed Skipper is fairly common but I was lucky enough to get both of these butterflies nectaring from the same bloom. Both were very intent on nectaring from all the blooms and frequently skipped over to the surrounding blooms. I walked around the bush they were on for about an hour watching them.
