Butterfly on Perfume Balls by Debra Martz There were literally 100s of these little beauties flying all along the trail. The wind was blowing fairly strong so I looked for an area that wasn't heavy with flowers when I spotted these "perfume balls" rather isolated and waited for a butterfly to land. These colorful round balls are likely the remnants of the wildflower Indian Blanket and from my searching on Google, I've ID'ed the butterfly as a Vesta Crescent, (Phyciodes vesta). I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong...just drop a note in a comment. Captured end of April at South Llano River State Park near Junction, Texas. ©Debra Martz 20190425-DSC_5361

Hackberry Emperor and Huisache Daisy Wildflowers by Debra Martz The trails at South Llano River State Park (near Junction, Texas) were lined with an abundance of wildflowers all along the trails and therefore have attracted a variety of butterflies. Nature at its finest in the colorful Spring with yellow, orange and green!
