I have been pleased to finally see some butterfly action this spring here in Iowa. I'll be updating my blog more frequently from here on out.
We were lucky enough to spot 4 species of butterflies the other day:
Orange/Clouded sulphur
Cabbage White
Gray Comma
Spring Azure
Below is the GRAY COMMA (Polygonia progne) which was a new species for me. These are interesting butterflies because they actually hibernate here through the winter whereas other species migrate up into Iowa. Pretty hardy bugs.
I've seen a couple dragonflies this spring as well. They were:
Common Green Darner
Variegated Meadowhawk (see below)
