Henderson C.A., September 8th
After an event at L.C. Henderson Conservation Area near Petrolia, I walked the 3km trail loop a second time and found lots of insects to photograph. I scanned for migrating Monarchs and saw very few, but was happy to find a pair of mating Viceroy butterflies! (Notice the black line that crosses the hind wing. The line is missing on Monarchs.)
One of only 2 Monarchs I saw that day.
American Painted Lady: Now you see it...
...now you don't! The butterfly is in the exact same location, but closed its wings and seems to have disappeared!!
Eastern Comma
Shadow Darner
Smoky Rubyspot! A "lifer" species for me. I believe it is unexpected at this location and the population is listed as imperiled in Canada.
