Stormy this evening in Missouri...
A Kaleidoscope of Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele) surround newly blossomed milk weed flowers.
These are all males. They get together and hang out on beautiful days like this in Excelsior Springs Missouri

When Butterflies emerge, they don't grow. Being a butterfly is the last stage in their growth and is their adulthood. It doesn't mean they always act like adults. :)

A Silver Spotted Skipper - Epargyreus clarus I saw today on Williams Creek in Excelsior Springs (NW) Missouri. These long winged butterflies are nearly always seen in this posture, wings up. During mating they will open them at what is a risk.

The Viceroy Butterfly - Limenitis archippus
Fishing River
I saw her this afternoon in the willow row... I showed up, sat still and waited. Soon, she and a companion did a fly by. wait. Finally, she came to this willow you see her perched there. I left without spooking.

American Snout butterfly - Libytheana carinenta
This brush footed butterfly is so ancient it's in the fossil record. They frequent stream edges and have both a leaf appearance and a colorful streak depending on their audience. Excelsior Springs Missouri #Butterfly #Nature #Sanity

Trilobite - Bolaspidela housensis
I found this fossil in Utah last week. It is about 400 million years old from the Cambrian period prior to the rise of the dinosaurs. These were one of the most successful species to ever live. #trilobite #cambrian #fossil

This Juvenal's Duskywing Butterfly (Gesta Juvenales) found me today along banks of Fishing River, NW Missouri. Once they become aware of your presence, they will share the space at a distance. Readjusting to you as you move. If they fly into a shadow, they disappear.

Only 6 days to spring! This is one of the early butterfly in spring. Mourning Cloak- Nymphalis antiopa These large beautiful butterflies may winter over beneath bark and emerge early. These warm days would lend themselves to that happening now. I shot this last spring. Excelsior Springs Mo.
