It has been a weird Spring, very cool, we are still having 40s and 50s in the mornings, and fairly rainy. I am finally seeing some more butterflies around. Hope to see more. This was one that was visiting my Milkweed that I planted for Monarchs. This is a Mourning Cloak butterfly. Apparently it is name due to someone wearing a bright dress under their dark one and letting a bit of it show while in mourning. Adult butterflies hibernate over the winter and are usually one of the first to emerge in Spring.
