Water Hemlock, the most poisonous plant in North America, is in bloom and I saw this little butterfly feeding on the nectar of it's flowers. (It has more guts than I have.) I didn't recognize it so went to a great website for butterfly identification for my state. Still couldn't figure it out but the website allows you to submit a photo and they answer pretty quickly. Turns out it's a Banded Hairstreak and it hadn't been reported in my county before to this website. Kinda fun to be the first.
