Butterfly Pictures, Early November 2005

The autumn 2005 butterfly migration was spectacular on the Southern Plains, so in early November I took pictures of the migratory and some of the non-migratory species that were still around. Unless noted, pictures were taken near Sarkeys Energy Center on the campus of the University of Oklahoma.
