What a wonderful mild day. I encountered a late-season butterfly—the common buckeye (Junonia coenia)—on a walk at Mead's Quarry. Buckeyes prefer broad open spaces and are generally found on the ground or low growing plants.
In the deep South—Florida and along the Gulf Coast, plus in the Caribbean—buckeyes are active all year. During the warm months they can migrate north as far as southern Canada.
