I suppose it’s near the end of its life or just too damaged to fly further? Do the butterfly experts.

Pretty little lady here in eastern Tennessee.

First one of these I have seen.
Anyone know this ones name?

Pretty butterfly in east Tennessee.

Hard to tell but the tree is pretty big . Fell off the top of the ridge above and landed on its top.

Not a butterfly but fascinating moth.

THe two little ones are getting bigger.

Poor butterfly has been through hell but she’s still going!

Most all of the butterflies I have seen today are smaller one.

Beautiful little deer.

Little buddy has been through it. Missing a bit of tail wing.

Anyone else seeing more butterflies than usual?

This azalea blooms in two different color combinations; part of it that has been blooming all summer but only one of the color combinations. Any idea as to the variety? I got this at a Lowes store in eastern Tennessee. Must be two species grafted together?

I don't know buterfly. Wonder what theses are called?

Striking

Some are dying out as others bloom. Highth distance makes pictures difficult.
