Since I didn't take any pictures today, thought I'd share a blast from the past. And since I know zilch about butterflies, except that they're beautiful, here's a tidbit about this particular butterfly you may or may not find interesting. Another Swallowtail look-alike, Red-Spotted Purple butterflies are dark beauties whose open wings have a blue iridescence. Like Mourning Cloaks, the adults have nontraditional tastes, often feeding from rotting fruit, tree sap, and animal droppings. Like many common caterpillars, attract Red-Spotted Purples to your yard with willows. I learn something new every day.
