In the Heat of the Day

[RGS]

It's midday and 105° outside. The sun is high, the light is harsh, and the birds are hiding in the shade trying to stay cool. What should I do? Stay home and enjoy the cool air? Nah! Go out and find some butterflies. Viceroy and Common Buckeyes at Will Rogers Park in OKC from this afternoon.

Pretty sure that's a Viceroy, not a Monarch. Nice photos!

Pretty sure you are right. I haven't seen a Viceroy in a couple of years so I didn't pay enough attention. Thanks for the heads up

cool shots. I love all the mimics like the Viceroys. Interesting natural adaptions.

Your initiative really paid off with a nice set of images! Now get a cold lemonade or ??? and relax!
