Common Buckeye Butterflies

Also in Cape May Point by the hundreds were Common Buckeye butterflies. This was another site I'd never seen before as was true with most of the people I talked with when we talked butterflies. Had the hot, dry summer contirbuted to the abundence of butterflies along with all of the psecies being seen? I don't know and no one I talked to could really say for sure. I did find caterpillars for the Common Buckeye on Gerardia along the first path in the park. I had fun pointing out the caterpillars to some of the children that were there with their parents.
