Common Buckeye visits yard

Southern immigrants are making their appearances. Two days after hosting a Variegated Fritillary, a Common Buckeye stopped by for awhile. Common Buckeye's (Junonia coenia) are not comon, but always nice to see.
This specimen was very well worn, indicating a long flight north.
