As for non-native species...
Rice Paper (One of my favorite photos)
Zebra Longwings:
The butterfly places at Niagra & in Mass. used to be favorite haunts of mine.

Very nice photos. I spotted my first clearwing last month, but it was too quick to get a very good shot.

This reminds me...I need to buy an identification guide.

I have found the online guide that I linked on this thread last month (8/6) to be a very useful tool. You just can't narrow down the species farther than the state level if you're using the distribution maps because, as with most field guides, I have found species here that aren't listed in my county.

At 9:00 this morning it was bright, sunny, and 22 degrees here. We still have a good 4" of snow covering everything. Mike happened to be looking out the window and he said that he saw a butterfly! I just laughed and told him that it had to be a leaf floating by. But then I saw it too! The camera was out here in the office, so I couldn't get a shot (what a photo that would have been) but it was a Mourningcloak: http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/lands_forest ... urning.pdf

I think this is a gray comma. Spotted him in March out this way on a nature trail....while I was looking for mourning cloaks.

I believe you're right about that being a gray comma. The wings on the eastern comma seem to have a wider divide between the front and the rear, but that's only from comparing photos.
