BUCKEYE
Junonia coenia

Butterfly Spotting: This mainly brown butterfly can be easily identified by its distinctive eyespots.

Backyard Tip:Like its relative, the painted lady, buckeyes also enjoy composites, which are plants that are characterized by florets arranged in dense heads that resemble single flowers. These include aster, chicory, gumweed, knapweed, and tickseed sunflower. The buckeye will also visit other types of flowers such as dogbane and peppermint.
