I wanted a photo of a butterfly on my computer



No, no! What I meant was I want a file containing a digital photograph loaded onto my computer. But I got this--a Great spangled fritillary (Speyeria cybele) resting on a computer that was in front of my house. The photo was taken in June 2015.

Besides the computer, this butterfly also visits the nearby milkweeds. I've been hoping to see monarchs on the milkweeds, but I haven't. Not even caterpillers or chrysalides, nor eggs. I haven't even seen a monarch in the neighborhood in quite a while. But the great spangled fritillary has become quite common here.
