An unexpected visitor

Meadow Argus, Junonia villida
Meadow Argus

Even after some eight years of regularly photographing insects in my suburban quarter-acre, I see “new” species – not necessarily new to me, far less new to science, but new (to my knowledge) to the garden.

It happened again this morning, with this Meadow Argus, Junonia villida, spotted on the back steps and photographed in the edge of the pool nearby. I don’t recall having seen one here before, although I know them from the Town Common (photo on flickr) and from Hervey’s Range.
