Bing AI doesn't know what Atala Butterfly looks like, but this is beautiful |
I met a butterfly in our back yard that I have never seen before. It was about the size of a Red Admiral, very small. At first, I thought it was solid black, but then saw a red dot on it. No photos can't get it with the cell phone.
Excited because it was the first time in my life to see this tiny butterfly, I googled small black butterfly with red dot on head
and VOILA!
the first link I clicked on is this one https://www.sarasotamanatee.usf.edu/news/2023/usf-sarasota-manatee-atala-butterflies.aspx
today I have the perfect post for joining Nature Friday with Sunny and Rosy https://llbinourbackyard.blogspot.com/
and also the perfect post for FFF with Yam https://inimaynaelcammeno.blogspot.com/

WOW wOW, this is a once in a lifetime thrill, and I would have been just as excited!! We can go our whole life without ever seeing something rare like this. It is gorgeous and petite.
By the way, I had been waiting only a half hour to eat before taking my thyroid pill. I'm sure you knew that, since we are so alike. Now I am waiting an hour like your doctor said, and feeling so much better! I hope that post of your helps other people as well! Your new doctor is GOOD!
I didn't know either but it sure is pretty!
I never heard of am Atala butterfly, but it's beautiful! Now I'm wondering how many people (pointing finger at myself) wouldn't even notice -- or pay attention.
I'm not normally given to 'whoo-whoo'(isms) but suspect it travelled your way for a reason. Please, let us know if it comes back!
The article said they made your area home - does that mean they are going to stay there - the butterflies - it was so beautiful and unusual I know you loved them. I had never heard of them myself.
How exciting!!! I love the links you shared. Very interesting that it is out your way visiting you. It's a beautiful butterfly.
