Early Summer Nectaring

Marshlands Conservancy, Rye, NY

Photo of a Coral Hairstreak butterfly (Satyrium titus nectaring on an orange butterfly weed (Asclepia tuberosa) plant -- one of its favorite nectar sources.

This is the first time since 2015 that a few orange butterfly weed plants (considered endangered) blossomed on the grounds of the Rye, NY nature center.

Belle photo. Cette espèce n'est pas présente en France (j'ai regardé sur wikipedia). Sur leur site, ils présentent aussi ce papillon en train de butiner les mêmes fleurs ; il doit les adorer en effet.
