The scorching climate of southern WI was quite a shock from my last butterfly outing a few days earlier...over 400 miles to the north in Ontario!
Nice to see a healthy population of Regals at this newly purchased parcel (Prairie Enthusiasts). The picture shows a freshly emerged female resting in the grasses. Also some pretty good moths at night, including the leadplant flower moth (Schinia lucens).
