 Pinery Butterflies! 

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - first one I've been able to photograph this year!

Juvenal's Duskywing: Close attention needs to be paid to detail when identifying Duskywings. I need to refer closely to the i.d. book when the photo is on the computer after getting home. 

Juvenal's Duskywing

Columbine Duskywing

Mottled Duskywing

Northern Azure, showing the upper wings, which doesn't often happen!

Northern Azure with closed wings - a more common pose.

Pearl Crescent soaking up heat from the stones and pebbles.

Dusted Skipper - It's status is listed as Vulnerable.

Common Roadside Skipper

Eastern Pine Elfin

Hobomok Skipper

These are all Duskywings and they are possibly all Mottled Duskywings which is the species that has been successfully reintroduced at Pinery Provincial Park!
