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. |

Beth Stetenfeld
Location: Backyard in McFarland
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. |
