Regal Redux

I couldn’t resist adding another image of this endangered species. Indeed the Regal Fritillary has disappeared from much of its previous range. It’s great to know the conservation efforts at Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA are helping to preserve this special buttery. I’ve also included an image of my first of year Delaware Skipper’s and a fresher image of American Copper.
