I haven’t seen very many butterflies this summer, so it was a treat to see this pretty little Pearl Crescent butterfly flit from flower to flower in my yard. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Beautiful little butterfly, don’t you think? Have you seen many butterflies this summer?
I was taking a photograph of this pretty, yellow Cinquefoil wildflower when this Cabbage White butterfly landed on top. I only got one photo and this is it!
The butterflies are back on Cape Cod and so much fun to try and photograph although they are not always cooperative! This little Pearl Crescent was flitting from flower to flower so I was able to get a couple of good photos. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
The Pearl Crescent is a small butterfly with a wingspan of only 1 to 1 1/2″. It is orange with black borders and scattered black markings. You can find them in open areas, including meadows, fields and roadsides. Have you ever seen a Pearl Crescent?
