New discovery!

Northern Pearly-eye

I shot this one yesterday.  Our county, Richland, is one of 11 in Ohio which does not have a documented sighting of this butterfly according to Butterflies and Skippers of Ohio by Ohio Division of Wildlife.  I sighted it on the last leg of my morning hike at Gorman Nature Center, Mansfield.  It was sitting in a patch of sunlight on the trail through the pine forest.  This was a new butterfly for my collection of shots of butterflies.  To me, that is exciting!  I think that I will eventually put in on my website:  http://www.larrysimages.com .
