Field Notes

Description:

Many newly emerged butterflies in my garden this morning, all eager to mate! The poor beauty on the right hand side of this photo has a broken/bent wing. See the video to see how she ended up this way - as several butterflies attempt to mate with her before her wings are even dry!

Habitat:
