Mourning cloak

Found during the hot weather of last week, when this and other overwintering butterflies emerged into sun and warmth. It is now back to cold for the time being and they will have retreated to warm cover.

Such a lovely butterfly, which I have not seen in a long time. I hope they appear in my neighborhood soon. Great full image here.

Great photo. It is surely a sign of early spring if you have butterflies emerge in March! I always enjoy seeing these. V.
