The Mourning Cloak drifted on the morning breeze.
She had just emerged from the back Elm tree.

What a beautiful butterful! I have never seen one like it before.
I must keep my eyes open and my camera ready. Thank you for telling me what it is called. Is there a butterfly book, in the same way there are bird books..?
They may be all over North America but I don't remember seeing one. How lovely! The edge of the wings has a lacy look.
Thank you.

Dear Chris,
I am looking forward to seeing your butterflies too. Mark has many English butterflies on his blog. I want to spend some time looking at all of them.

Hi Sheila,
There are butterfly field guides. I ordered mine last year from Amazon. It is called, Stokes "Beginners"s Guide to Butterflies". This year I bought the field guide to Missiouri's Butterflies and Moths. I would think there are butterfly books for your region. They are like bird books.
These butterflies like rotting fruit, mud puddles and sap.
If you do not mind a few flies try some fruit slices in a basket and see who comes!

Hi Mari-Nanci,
I had never seen one either!
It says in my butterfly book the larva feed on Willows, Aspens, Elms, Birches and Hackberry trees.
They should be emerging up Norht in a couple of weeks.
Rotting fruit is working very well for me this year.
Sherry
I'll keep looking, Sherry!
Hi Mary,
I am seeing more butterflies this year then ever before.
The Monarks are back too.
Busy time in the skies.
Sherry
