Good morning, I got some pics of a duskywing on Verbena this morn. At first I thought it was Juvenal's but now I'm not so sure. There were several funereal's...
Chris: I don't think Juvenal's is in your area. I think it is Mournful. Are you near any oaks? Were you able to see the under hind wing? Hank Brodkin Carr...

Had a little fun today. We drove to the other side of the Manzano Mountains in Torrance County NM to the area of 4th of July Canyon. All the back roads and...

Hello Kurt and Cindy, I have made several butterfly trips to the White Mountains over the past decade, and have had mixed results considering this Copper....
Mark: I believe in Arizona this copper is the only subspecies of rubidous in Arizona. It is geographically isolated in a relatively small area of the White...
I was thrilled to watch a Monarch ovapositing on some of my milkweed. She would ovaposit, then fly off to a resting place nearby, then return again. I later,...

Kenn: The issue of whether Ferris' Copper is a species or subspecies of the Ruddy Copper is an issue I cannot resolve. But I agree that the decision to declare...
Ken, Kenn, and all, I am also in a quandary about Ferris' Copper. The fact is, few of us would have beefed if it had been described as a subspecies of the...
