Field Notes
Description:
In the Spring and Summer, the underside of a Buckeye butterfly’s wings are lighter in color. This provides a better camouflage than darker wings as plants are growing and lighter colors are present in nature.
In the Fall and Winter, plants are dying or dead and nature turns brown. In those seasons, the underside of a Buckeye butterfly’s wings are darker in color. Again, this provides better camouflage.
Habitat:
garden
