BUTTERFLIES
We keep discovering more butterflies flitting through campus, and crawling along paths as caterpillars. They are as varied in color and design as their delightful names---duskywings, buckeyes, skippers, and hairstreaks, to name a few. It's not easy to get a good photograph of a free-ranging butterfly, but our collection is gradually increasing!
