Lots of butterfly activity with the increase in sunshine and temperature.I do most of my sightings in my backyard or former Fort Chaffee fields and road edges. Although I have some flowers in bloom, there is very little BF activity at home. A variety of BF's are present offsite where mating and oviposting seems to be the main activities.
Numerous American ladies, Variegated frits, Goatweed leafwings, and Buckeyes are active and I even saw my first Viceroy and Hoary edge skipper of the season.
I do have a few Sachem skippers in the yard flowers but hopefully I will get some other species soon.

1. Viceroy
2. American lady
3. Hoary edge
4. Variegated fritillary
