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/

Ih, wow, it is gorgeous!
What a pretty butterfly that is. I wouldn't know what it was if I saw it though. I'm lucky if I can tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth.
Wow, what a beauty. Congrats on your sighting.
Take care, have a happy day!
Now I am really envious. I would have been very excited indeed. The next best thing to enjoying it myself is to have you express such pleasure over it. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
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!
Sandra that is quite a special visitor you had. Thank you for the link you KNOW I am all about red.

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.
That's very nice. Butterflies and Dragonflies are so lovely. Thanks for the links. 💙
WOW!! How cool Sandra....what a beautiful butterfly!
