Meet Milbert

This has been quite the year for butterflies so far. Seems like every day there's a new visitor to the yard. Or two. Or three.

Today's visitor: Milbert's Tortoiseshell.


It doesn't look that impressive closed, but when it opens it's very distinctive:


We've now spotted in our yard all three tortoiseshells that are found in Minnesota (Compton's, Mourning Cloak and good ole Milbert).

  1. I love these! I've seen a few around, but I haven't managed to get a photo of one yet.
