Butterfly photography Olympia Marble Crex Meadows Wisconsin

Looking for Mr. Olympia.
May 16, 2023
Sparky heads down to Crex Meadows Wildlife Area near Grantsburg, Wisconsin to search for his Lifer Olympia Marble butterfly. He also stumbles on one of the most beautiful turtles in North America...the Blanding's Turtle (which promptly "mauls" him :)
Vesper and Grasshopper sparrows are singing, along with Eastern Towhees, Trumpeter Swans and Eastern Kingbirds.
It is hot, and the mosquitos are awful, but Sparky finds multiple species of butterflies to photograph including Hoary Elfin, Juvenal's Duskywing, Silvery Blue, and, his main target, Olympia Marble..the butterfly that looks like its been brushed with gold foil!
