Just passing through

Some butterflies and dragonflies move north or south with the seasons. Here’s several that I saw today (10/21/11) in an aster patch in Catch the Wind.

A Common Green Darner rests between flights over the asters to hawk insects.
The Common Buckeye is a local breeder. They move south each fall, sometimes in large numbers.
Nearly everyone is familiar with the Monarch and its annual movements. This female stopped by our little patch of asters to refresh.

Have a nice flight.
