I am looking forward to seeing your butterflies and other insects from your neck of the woods!

Here are my photos for today of the Common Buckeye Butterfly.

This is the first time I have seen this butterfly in person so I was really happy. The many eyespots on this butterfly look similar to a buck's eye; hence its name.

They are constantly on the move and erratic, fast fliers.

The average wingspan of these butterflies is 1.65 - 2.8 inches.

Common buckeye butterflies sip nectar from various plants and they also like to feed on rotting fruit, dung and the flesh of dead animals.

Thanks for stopping by!

All photos are my own.
