With wildflowers in full swing here at Leadville National Fish Hatchery, we are seeing more butterflies.
At first glance the Ruddy Copper seems plain. White wings with a few black spots.

But as the wings start to open, there is a splash of color.

And if you catch one sunning itself with open wings, you'll think that you are seeing a completely different bug!

We're keeping our eyes open for more colorful butterfiles. Stay tuned.
