Northern Kentucky Project: Wildlife Encounters - Tawny Emperor Butterfly

Hello! Today’s special appearance is a very bold tawny emperor butterfly (Asterocampa clyton) this butterfly landed on my arm and was licking the salt from my shirt (I assume… but since they are commonly found on s#!t maybe it’s something I won’t ask it for clarification… 😂). When I went to go gently shoo it away it didn’t want to leave, so I decided to transfer it to my finger and take a close-up video of it to share with the rest of the world.

Enjoy!
