EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Common Buckeye butterfly (Junonia coenia) gracefully alights on a cluster of Common Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) in Marion County, Illinois. The vibrant orange and black wings of the butterfly contrast beautifully against the lush green foliage of the boneset, creating a stunning visual display of nature's intricate design. Common Buckeyes are a common sight in North America, with a range that extends from Canada to Mexico. They are named for their resemblance to the buckeye nut, with their distinctive orange and black coloration. These butterflies are important pollinators, and can often be found visiting a variety of flowers, including those in the aster family, such as Common Boneset. Common Boneset is a native plant that is commonly found in wetlands and along the edges of forests and fields. It is a member of the aster family, and is characterized by its tall, branching stems and white or pink flowers that bloom in the summer. The plant is named for its bone-like structure, which can be seen in the arrangement of its veins. This photograph, taken by Danita Delimont, captures the delicate interplay between the Common Buckeye and Common Boneset in their natural habitat. It is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these delicate ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. Whether you are an avid naturalist, a nature photographer, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this image is sure to inspire and delight. It is a reminder of the wonders that can be found in even the most ordinary places, and a reminder of the importance of protecting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
