A Common Buckeye!!!
<<seriously excited shrieking>>
This butterfly has been on my wish list for years! I mean YEARS!!! I've never even SEEN one before!
(*they're supposed to be common - it's literally in the name - but they've felt like the white whale of butterflies for me lol.)
It was gone so fast. One quick stop & then it zoomed away. I was only able to get a few mediocre shots, but OMG! A Common Buckeye! FINALLY!!!
My heart is still pounding! 😂
