Prairie Butterfly

No. 7875 - 11 Apr 2011 - 15:27:32

Returning wildlife of the native habitat show up daily in my backyard.
This is a Milbert's Tortoiseshell butterfly of the brush-footed variety
(Family Nymphalidae) which includes the Monarch.
It is one of many species migrating back to Manitoba including the
Canada Goose and the Ring Billed Gull.
