this year's butterflies

Butterfly season in New England is quickly coming to an end. Here are a few I saw this year:



White Admiral.




Red Admiral.




Spring Azure.




Horace's Duskywing.




Viceroy.




Canadian Tiger Swallowtail.




I think this is a Compton Tortoiseshell. It was my first butterfly of the year, back in April.


And an honorary mention:



Eight-spotted Forester, which is actually a moth, despite its non-fuzzy antennae.
