In the Meadow

A very poor photo, but what a find. First I have ever seen at Foulkeways. This is a Baltimore. This is a butterfly of wetlands and feeds on turtlehead.

This is a female twelve-spotted skimmer.



This is a clouded sulphur. It looked white as it flew around, but you can see the lemon yellow when it perches.





I saw this male Zabulon skipper on my way to the meadow. This is an interesting butterfly as the male maintains a perch, often for a day, or even for a week. He flies off hoping to find a female, or to drive away other males, and returns to the same perch time after time.
