unknown butter cat on Thistle - Vanessa cardui
Wolf Creek, Josephine County, Oregon, USA
July 8, 2017
Size: small
I looked around the butters but I have no clue really about them, except i know Checkerspots feed on it, and I see Vanessa feeds on it, and maybe if I stretch my eyes and use my imagination maybe I see the markings of those? so here you go butterpeople. Found on thistle.
