Rayetta's Butterflies

Yep.  After lo these many moons, we have a new butterfly species f or the CB butterfly documentation system that is also known as Rayetta's butterflies.  Named after Dr. Rayetta Pistrum.  Yep.  With plenty of frostweed, goldenrod and three Eupatoriums flowering, there is plenty of nectar for the milkweed butterflies. And for the first nonce ever, we have the full court, monarch, queen and soldier.

Here's the soldier, a nice, fresh female. Incidentally, the soldier, unlike the others, goes to goldenrod.
