FYI - The photos I post here are photos that I've taken in my yard of plants that are native to my area, which is part of the Lake Erie Lowland ecoregion. This region is called the Southern Great Lakes Forest ecoregion in the US, & includes most of OH, IN, southern MI, northern PA, & western NY. 😊

To the extent that my iPhone can search and identify every photo with a butterfly, the tally for 2025 is at least 15,619 photos. No way was I going to hand count them. 😏😂
Here is one from September that I haven’t posted.
🧡 Gulf Fritillary butterfly 🧡

I nominate the very tiny Eastern Tailed-Blue butterfly as the official butterfly of BlueSky. The shape is practically a dead ringer for the logo.

Thrilled to share this absolutely gorgeous Red-spotted Purple butterfly on a wild Honeysuckle shrub on the edge of our northeastern woods today.
Yes, I know it’s more blue than purple, with orange spots, not red. I don’t name them. 🙂

Speaking of beautiful Fritillaries, the largest of them is another absolute stunner. The Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly wanted to get in on the action for #SaturdayOrange 🧡
