The picture below is of a buckeye butterfly that I spotted in my backyard today.

It is easy to identify these butterflies when you see them, once you know what they are!

It fluttered around in my grass.  The buckeye only landed and rested enough at times for me to get a couple of these pictures.

Question Mark Butterfly

Today I saw a Question Mark butterfly flying around one of my trees in my backyard.  These butterflies are always flying close to me.

I love the shape of their wings!  I used to call them leaf butterflies because they blended in so well like a leaf.  The inside of their wings are beautiful.  It contrasts sharply to the light color on the outside.
