I went to the butterfly house today in McKinney, Texas
where I volunteer as a docent(guide).
The butterfly season is winding down and the butterfly house will close on September 30.
I decided I really wanted to volunteer one last day before it closed.
Here are some butterflies I photographed today.
Variegated Fritillary
White Peacock - wings closed
White Peacock - wings open
Common Buckeye

All original photos taken on my iPhone 8 Plus
wOw, extraordinary images; especially, those last two ... like living flower petals, with wings!
Here’s a couple of butterfly images that I thought you might enjoy by a remarkable nature photographer I’m proud to call a friend, Kent Burgess:

Wonderful @violetmed the opportunity to be teacher guide dear friend. It's what you like and what you love and that's why I'm so happy for you. The photos of the butterflies are a natural beauty. Peacock is very pretty with open and closed wings with adorable colors and beautiful figures on their wings. Horse chestnut on its wings has a great beauty in various dark colors and others more vivid. Thank you for all the excellent shots. A big hug.

Pretty! That sort of reminds me of visiting my grandparents' Michigan farm as a kid. They seemingly had dozens of butterfly species every summer.

That sounds wonderful @fotosdenada! If a person has the right host plants for butterflies and some nectaring flowers you will see lots of butterflies and caterpillars around your home or land even these days!

What a wonderful opportunity volunteering at the butterfly house has been! Such beauty. I like the Buckeye best but I think the white peacock is the best photo. Happy that you got to spend one more day there.

It's a pity that they close, although I imagine it's because from that moment on butterflies emigrate or are barely larvae. I imagine how happy she feels working in such a beautiful place. Congratulations, beautiful lady.

Yes @baselogoo, you are correct, this is the time of year for us that butterflies stop emerging from their chrysalises. Also the nectar and host plants for the butterflies will freeze or die back to the ground in the winter.
