You never know what you'll find when it comes to nature. Even just a 5 minute walk around my house can yield a species that I have not seen before. Today that species is the butterfly known as the
Common Wood Nymph, the only species of Wood Nymph that occurs in Massachusetts. Common Wood Nymphs are closely related to three species that I have become very familiar with in the last 2 years: Little Wood Satyrs, and Appalachian and Eyed Browns. Enjoy the photos.
