Happy Monday and happy new week. A short work week for me as it is a holiday week here in the US. Today's image is one I was able to capture this spring of a butterfly I don't see very often. I saw this one while biking along the river trail. This is a Mourning Cloak butterfly. Apparently they are named this way after similarly colored clothes once worn during times of mourning. These butterflies are known for being a sign of spring as they are one of the very first to emerge and brighten the still brown landscape.
They are always the first ones we see in the spring. Always a good sign
ReplyDeleteAgree! I usually see Red Admirals first but this year was different all around.
