A Common Buckeye Butterfly
I was happy to cross paths with this beautiful Common Buckeye butterfly which is in the Brush-footed Butterfly family. The Viceroy, Red-Spotted Purple, American Lady and Fritillaries are just some of the other butterflies that are in the same family as the Common Buckeye aka Junonia coenia.
It was a great day when I happened upon this butterfly as it was one of several butterflies that I saw on this particular visit to Loch Raven Reservoir in Baltimore County, Maryland. Eventually, I want to do a post featuring all the ones I photographed on this visit.
I only wish that I was able to photograph the underside of the Common Buckeye but the more I tried to inch closer the more it moved just a little further away. So, after getting a few shots in, I thanked my lucky stars (and the butterfly) for the photos that I did get and left this beautiful butterfly and went on my way. 😊
Speaking of being thankful...thank you very much to @whatisnew for #butterflyday!!

Aw, my pleasure @deerjay! I am happy and thankful to have you here. I am so happy that you were able to see this beautiful Buckeye in person. I wasn't able to photograph the underside of mine either but it looks like you got very close with that last photo. Beautiful photos of this beautiful Buckeye. Thanks for using #butterflyday tag. : )
Thanks so much @whatinew!! It was an awesome day for me and the butterflies. I even had a Red-Spotted Purple land on my finger..yippee! It is amazing how different they can look comparing their topside and underside, like two different butterflies sometimes. Always happy to have an entry..just gotta work on getting it in sooner..lol. 🤔 🙂
