Late summer is the best time to observe numerous species of butterflies in Georgia.  Aside from the more common butterflies like Eastern Tiger Swallowtails,
Cloudless Sulphurs and
Gulf Fritillaries seen in most yards, gardens and fields, if you look carefully you can often find dozens of other smaller and not-so-obvious species like Fiery Skippers (pictured above), Pearl Crescents and Gray Hairstreaks.  It doesn't take much to attract butterflies, just a patch of lantana or a butterfly bush can bring in a crowd!  Or add a butterfly feeder filled with nectar and fruit such as nectarines and melon.
