Common Buckeye on Grass-Leaved Goldenrod

Posted on Sep 22, 2015

Here we have the Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia) butterfly feeding on Grass-Leaved Goldenrod (Euthamia graminifolia). You can see this individual has some wear and tear on its wings, but it was still flying very well. This patch of goldenrod has been extremely productive for all sorts of pollinator species, and we are hoping it yields a lot of super sightings in the next month.
