Common Buckeye Butterfly

Janonia coenia

Description:

Poetry in motion. Common Buckeye in motion during feeding with cameo appearance (leg only) of a small Shamrock Orb Weaver Spider. Butterfly safely flew away. Small White Aster flowers. A favorite of Monarch and Common Buckeye.

Habitat:

Meadow in the Poconos

Notes:

I was so focused on the butterfly, I didn't see the spiders leg until just now. For full view of Spider with a Monarch Butterfly in these flowers, see my November 11th posting Shamrock Orb Weaver Spider vs. Monarch.

Thank you. I never took a photo of a butterfly flying before. I love it even though it is a little blurry!

Reminds me of the sneeches with stars upon thars.
