Southern Dogface butterflies are so named for the yellow dog’s head marking surrounded by black on each
of their dorsal forewings. Their ventral wing surfaces are yellow with a small, black-ringed spot

on each forewing and either one or two small, brown to pink-ringed spots on each hindwing. The forewings
are point-tipped and can either be straight-edged to slightly hooked , as with this Southern Dogface.

A Butterfly Lights Beside Us

A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam…
and for a brief moment it’s glory
and beauty belong to our world…
but then it flies on again, and although
we wish it could have stayed,
we are so thankful to have seen it at all.
