My yard exploded with 100’s of skippers, dozen’s of American & Painted Ladies, Common Buckeye’s and Monarch’s. Best day ever here in 6 years. 2 pairs of mating Monarch’s. Viceroy, American Snout, both Ladies, Question Marks, Common Buckeyes all on dishes of rotten fruit. Probably more species of skippers had I taken the time to sort through them all.
