Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia)
Butterflies have begun to visit the flowering Buddleia davidii. Yesterday morning, more than half a dozen Common Buckeyes were working the flowers. Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia)
They were almost tame. They would fly to another flower if I got too close but then they would fly back in to a branch directly beside me. They are calm enough that I was able to take this shot with a macro lens.Identification resources:- West Central Georgia Butterflies by Michael Beohm: Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia)
