Butterfly sightings for November 2015

The deer tick season isn't quite over with either, I had 2 of them on me today.

There was an Eastern Comma flying around by my garage door late this morning as I came home from church. The sun was shining and it was around 50 degrees.

sunny, light breeze, mid 60's

we saw other Lepidopterans but they were too distant to confirm as butterflies

68 degrees, mostly sunny, windy out of the southwest

Sunny, windy and 74 degrees.

It was a glorious day to be outside!

Sunny, warm and 74 degrees.

Sunny, warm and a bit breezy. Around 1pm saw 2 fresh looking monarchs flying about. Not much blooming for them to nectar on. I wonder if they'll make it to Mexico?

Saw a Cabbage White in my Dad's front yard.

Sunny and 66 degrees.

Saw a few butterflies on this sunny and exceptionally warm morning while here to see the Western Kingbird.

Sunny morning in the 60's. The dandelions were the big attraction.

Saw a sulphur butterfly in the exact same spot as I did yesterday. Wondering if it's the same one.

It was warm and sunny at lunch time when I found a single butterfly enjoying a bed of blooming flowers in front of the museum.

Sunny and 70 degrees.

fresh females

I saw two sulphur butterflies again today. Another beautiful day.

Sunny and 63 degrees.

Nectaring on abelia.

The same Monarch as yesterday, nectaring on Abelia again this morning.

Sunny, very windy and 73 degrees.

Might be the last one. We've had several freezes.

It was 54 degrees when I saw this sulphur. Dandelions were blooming, but it didn't pay any attention to them. There was a hard frost last night, there can't be too many butterflies left.

Will the 2015 butterfly season ever end? Seen in grazed pasture, with only a few yarrow in bloom. Guess temperature was in the mid-50s.

Sunny, windy and 53 degrees.

A Clouded sulphur was flying around on this nice sunny day.

Still hanging in there...

A little chillier today. However, a couple Clouded Sulphurs were still flying and nectaring on dandelions near a small pond. The pond still had Autumn Meadowhawks and 1 Spotted Spreadwing flying as well.

Mostly sunny, breezy and 58 degrees.

61 degrees, light breeze, partly cloudy skies. I was raking leaves in the backyard when a Mourning Cloak flew up out of the pile and into the woods. Mourning Cloaks are usually the first butterflies I see in the spring, and the last ones I see in the fall. I also recently filmed one checking out a crevice in our rock wall--probably as a potential hibernation location.

One lone sulphur butterfly was feeding from a blooming dandelion just after noon when the sun was out and the temperature was in the upper 50's.

Mostly sunny, breezy and 58 degrees.

Sunny. Mid 50's before noon.

I saw Clouded Sulphurs in 3 different locations. Also had Autumn Meadowhawks and a Common Green Darner.

I also saw 2 Common Green Darners!

61 degrees and sunny.

Mostly sunny and 58 degrees.
