On a Morning Glory

October 16, 2022
These yellow cactus flowers in full bloom had a few Cloudless Sulphur Butterflies flitting around them.
And they do flit, with speed.
The overgrown vegetation around the cactus kept me from getting a better angle. The possibility of snakes was top of my mind.
The flowers on their own were outstanding.
Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly was one of at least five butterfly species I saw on November 13 at Donnelley Wildlife Management Area.
There were actually dozens of them along the road, zipping in and out of the Morning Glories.
Zoom in on this last image and you’ll see some sort of a multi-segmented insect between the two Morning Glory blooms that I did not see at the time.
