Louisa County
We spent some time in Louisa County over the weekend, and I added a new butterfly to my list - Variegated Fritillary (Euptoieta claudia). There were at least a dozen different kinds of butterflies in this same area at the same time. Mostly skippers - the ones that drive me insane trying to ID. They seemed most interested in the spotted knapweed. Too bad it's such a nasty, invasive, non-native plant. The American Lady pictured to the right (and here) found some clover in bloom amidst the knapweed.
