Silvery Checkerspot Butterfly



“There is an undeniable exhilaration in moment of even the smallest discovery” 

― Graham Moore


This was such an exciting find for me. My first Silvery Checkerspot EVER - seen on June 23, 2019 at Heritage Park in Blacksburg, Virginia. Nectaring on the milkweed that is abundant in this area. I try to inspect this milkweed weekly for monarch caterpillars, and to my delight saw this beauty. It was quite thrilling!
