Ozark Insects - Buckeye Butterfly

Junonia coenia

This butterfly is pretty common across the United States. This particular one was pretty tattered. I rarely get butterflies to hold still long enough for photos.

I took these in my mother's garden. She grows a large butterfly bush, which is not native and typically does not provide good nutrients for our native butterflies, sadly.

Thanks for looking! Stay tuned!

All photos by me using a Samsung WB1100F camera and edited in paint.net
