First Butterfly Sighting of the Season

For the past few days I have been seeing a single Lepidoptera drift past me.  I know it cannot be the same Lepidoptera each day, but it is the same color and the same size.

 

I have seen it in the yard, down at the pond, and in the pastures between both.

 

Today, this lepidopteran actually landed.  I was able to get a better look and delight in the happiness of the deep orange.

 

Checking my Golden Guide of Butterflies and Moths, I decided that this specimen was an Anglewing butterfly.  I am guessing it is more particularly an Eastern Comma.

 

Whatever this butterfly happens to be named; the reality is that it is a beauty to enjoy.

 

And, I do!
