Rayetta's Butterflies - An Actual CB-BDS New Record

The previous effort gave me a lot of trouble. Not only are my pictures out of whack, But the new butterfly record had to be rescinded. But today, just for balance, we did get a new one for the CB-BDS.

The little wood-satyr (Megisto cymela) outnumbers all other butterflies put together by far in Juniperus ashei closed canopy woodlands in these parts. Possibly, right now, there are 100s per acre in that habitat. Yet, I never expected to see one at my banana feeder.

In the woods, this species bounces around in the shady understory, usually low to the ground. It is a lazy flyer and wimpy. Yet here one is, tussling with the brush feet (not shown) for a share of the bananas. Amazing!
