Falcate Orangetip

This is one of the first butterflies of the year to appear. I have seen them as early as mid February. Only the males have the orange tips. On the floodplain of my creeks, Etowah County, Alabama (IMG_2480)

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy !!

I saw a female this weekend. They are terrors to catch on camera !!

Seen 4 Little Yellows too who are also declining to SIT

Also saw another.. distant.. "looked" like a Phaon ?? maybe !

We now have a big storm system coming in.... so its a case of battening down.

They really are terrors to catch, every year I try to catch them without a lot of success. I was lucky to find it sunning itself in a very open area. Otis romping around disturbing it didn't help, but I kept with it until it until it landed again and managed to get off a few good shots.

I have seen a couple of yellows too, but didn't have a camera handy, plus they didn't seem to want to hold still for long.
