Hi,


Seems like you had a great butterfly year. Good for you 'cause, this year was pretty below average for me. Only one new species, a Striped Hairstreak and, no decent shots worth posting of butterflies. I just didn't see a lot of butterflies this year. Maybe it has to do with the banner year we had last spring (2012). Oh well, maybe next year will be better. I have to get out to some tropical place! Great pics BTW.

Lets hope for a much better year for all types of butterflies including Monarchs here in Ontario next year.  I just looked at a couple of pictures on Google of a Striped Hairstreak, great looking butterfly.  I now understand why its called a Striped Hairstreak.  Did you sight this butterfly somewhere in Ontario?
