Several first of year butterflies in the past week. Butterflies have been scarce this year so while I have seen a total of 28 species in the yard in 2020, the numbers of those butterflies is low. That means usually just one or two of a species has been seen here. For this time of year that's unusual but it goes with the unusual weather we had in the spring.
