Fall Butterflies!

Cloudless Sulphur

On our hikes this past autumn I saw a lot of butterflies. This series was taken on the barrier island off of the Florida Panhandle. I saw mostly four species, the Cloudless Sulphur, the Buckeye, and the Gulf Fritillary, and Monarch, but numerous individuals of all four. The white butterfly which I have not been able to positively identify flew on its own, as far as I could tell. I took most of these in the mornings, which were cold but sunny.
