I saw a new-to-me butterfly in my gravel driveway the other day, two of them actually, "dancing" around each other in the air. Goatweed Leafwing butterflies (Anaea andria) do border on their range here, but it is very uncommon to see one. They were too fast to catch or get a pic, but the unusual shape of the wing edge, leafy colored underside and striking crimson topside were very distinctive. So pretty!

Beautiful butterfly! If it flew into my blueberry bushes in the fall I would never see it! That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the bright color. That would be cool to see!
