Orange Butterfly(Speyeria Cybele)

By

While Free Ranging the WooFPAK the WooFDriver was lucky to see this Orange Butterfly(Speyeria Cybele) on some purple flowers. They lay their eggs in late summer on or near the host plants of violets. When the caterpillars hatch they do not feed, they overwinter until spring when they eat young violet leaves.
