Finally! Something interesting in the yard today -- a male Julia Longwing/Heliconian (Dryas iulia). This photo isn't the individual in the yard from today, but one I had a photo of from a couple of years ago. They make it up to north Texas with some regularity, but usually not until late in the year. It's been a pretty boring year for stray butterflies in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area this year, so it was a nice surprise to find. Only one more day before the big cold front hits and we get our first real freeze. Ugh!
