During June and July I was very busy with Butterfly counts - a total of 6 this year. the highlight was the 61 species at Love reek Preserve. 43 folks showed up for the free breakfast sponsored my me and the off in 7 teams to the preserve, Native Plant Nursery, and multiple large ranches with lots of clear streams. 61 species was a new high for the count which will be either #1 or #2 this year in Texas.
The most difficult butterfly to ID was this Texas Powered Skipper....The first picture looked like a moth or butterfly buried into a flower.
The first picture is unedited and appears to be either a moth or butterfly buried into a yellow flower.
The next picture was edited using Photoshop and it really brings out the key marks on the butterfly.
