Butterflies plus a Lifer

I've had some better luck with butterflies at Komoka July 2024.  Here are some photos plus a Lifer.

The Eastern Comma. This is the 2nd one I've ever seen.  The other was in June 2022.

Searching Butterflies and Dragonflies - June 2022

This week, I've been concentrating on butterflies and dragonflies.  I found a few but are hard to find.  There is not an abundance of butterflies.  By far, the Cabbage Whites are the most common.  I've seen some Monarchs but not a lot.  On June 27, 2022, I went to Komoka to see what was around.
