A Few Red Spotted Purple Butterflies · **6 Likes**

Photographed these in the back yard. Thought they were swallowtail butterflies, but they were not. Look like Red Spotted Purple Buterflies.

These are really nice, Mike. Amazing what one can see in a back yard.

We have a rather rough steep back yard backyard with several trees. The last half is wooded to the street below. Thanks for your comments.

Nice shots of a beautiful butterfly Mike. Have not seen one like it around here. As an aside I lived near the little town of Blue Eye MO on the Arkansas border from '91-'94.

Nice shots of my favorite butterfly. Here in the forested mountains of Central Pennsylvania they're quite common.

They you for viewing and your comments. They are pretty common here also. Glad to see them as the overall number of butterflies seems down.
