Another picture of the Cabbage White Butterfly as it searches for nectar. This is one of the smaller butterflies in Indiana.
This appears to be an Aphrodite Fritillary Butterfly. Its wings have been damaged along the trailing edge, making identification more difficult. The Aphrodite Fritillary Butterfly ranges from Maine through the central Midwest.
A Green Darner Dragonfly rests on a leaf at the edge of the Killbuck Wetlands. Its wings are nearly transparent.
A land turtle makes his way toward cover in the woods. This fellow was fairly large, being about a foot long. His shell has saved him several times, judging by the tooth marks and scars on his back. Several look like they might have been made by the canine teeth of dogs or coyotes.
This is a Katydid on an Oak-leaf Hydrangea. It's well colored to blend with the leaf. This one appears to be a female with a long oviduct at the back for laying eggs.
An unexpected burst of colorful wildflowers brightens the day next to the Killbuck Wetlands.
