We didn't see any in New Mexico but it was a lot colder.

MONARCH

AMERICAN SNOUT


CERAUNUS BLUE


LARGE ORANGE SULPHUR


QUEEN


COMMON BUCKEYE


PHAON CRESCENT


SOUTHERN DOGFACE


WHITE-STRIPED LONGTAIL


LONG-TAILED SKIPPER


CLOUDED SKIPPER


COMMON CHECKERED SKIPPER


FIERY SKIPPER


ALLIGATOR


COYOTE


PRONGHORN


RACOON


LONGHORN


MULE DEER
This Mule Deer was taken at dusk when they came in to drink.
The Longhorn is not strictly a wild animal but he is very handsome.

    What a fabulous assortment of butterflies, and other wildlife - all beautifully captured! The Racoon looks really cute, but not so sure about the Alligator!

    Wonderful variety of beautiful butterflies featured in this post! Fantastic color and detail. I have never had the pleasure of seeing a Long-tailed Skipper before, so it's especially nice to view your image. Terrific wildlife photographs too!
