Drone of Lighthouse Landing, Kentucky 2022
This is video I captured with my drone of Lighthouse Landing in Kentucky. According to their website (https://www.lighthouselanding.com/) it is Kentucky’s most picturesque Resort & Marina. It’s located on the shores of Kentucky Lake. There is an AMAZING view of Kentucky Lake from this location.
Also, if you’re wondering what kind of bird flies by the lighthouse, it’s an osprey. Ospreys are a type of eagle. It was a huge addition to my footage I believe.

The Spring Azure Butterfly
This is video of what I believe to be a Spring Azure Butterfly. It looked more gray than blue to me at the time I captured this video.
According to butterflyidentification.com, these small butterflies are visible on flowers from afternoon until about sundown. “The female has a darker shade of blue, having prominent black margins on the forewings. When closed, both the wings look grayish with darker markings.” They are said to be the shortest-lived butterflies.

Checkered White Butterfly
This is video of a butterfly I’ve seen, but never looked at closely. I was mowing my yard and noticed a white butterfly flittering around. Naturally I pulled out my camera and shot it… I meant captured… took a video of it! Seriously, I think it’s a pretty little thing & I hope you do too.
From the information I gleened from butterfliesandmoths.org this is a Checkered White Butterfly. Their wingspan can be 2 inches wide. The top side of the male’s forewing exhibits the black checkered pattern on the outer portion. The females are more patterned. Hindwings are white on males & females.
According to https://entnemdept.ufl.edu/ it is known as Pontia protodice. It is a common pierid butterfly throughout the United States. The larva which are sometimes found in garden plants are known as southern cabbageworms. This is the accepted name for this species in the Entomological Society of America's Common Names of Insects & Related Organisms list, and is the name most often found in books on economic entomology (Capinera 2001, Cranshaw 2004, Metcalf and Metcalf 1993).
The species is known in butterfly books by the common name “the checkered white” (Allen 1997, Brock and Kaufman 2003, Cech and Tudor 2005, Daniels 2003, Glassberg et al. 2000, Minno et al. 2005, Opler and Krizek 1984, Scott 1986, Wagner 2005). This is also the common name used in the North American Butterfly Association's Checklist of North American Butterflies Occurring North of Mexico.

Hackberry Emperor Butterfly (Asterocampa celtis)
This is video of a butterfly I haven’t seen in a long time. I just happened to look over the guard rail and there it was posing for me! I think it’s a fantastically decorated beauty and I hope you’ll agree.
From information I found on butterflyidentification.org this is a Hackberry Emperor Butterfly. They are typically up to 2.4 inches in size. Here is some color identification information: blue; black; yellow; orange; white; spotted; tan; brown.
According to butterfliesandmoths.org, Hackberry Butterflies fly in a fast, erratic manner. They rest upside down on tree limbs. Males perch on tall objects in sunny areas to watch for females. Eggs are laid in clusters & young caterpillars feed communally. Caterpillars overwinter in groups gathered inside dead rolled leaves.

Silvery Checkerspot Butterfly (Chlosyne nycteis)
This is video of a what I believe to be a Silvery Checkerspot Butterfly. It looks similar to the Pearl Crescent Butterfly I made a video of previously.
I obtained the following information from butterfliesandmoths.org.
Identification: Upperside is pale yellow-orange with dark borders and markings. Hindwing above and below has some white-centered submarginal spots; hindwing below is pale with a large white crescent at the margin.
Wing Span: 1 3/8 - 2 inches (3.5 - 5.1 cm).
Life History: Males perch and patrol all day in open areas. Females lay eggs in batches of about 100 on the underside of host plant leaves. Young caterpillars move in groups as they skeletonize leaves. Partially-grown caterpillars hibernate.
Flight: One brood in the north from June-July, two broods in remainder of range from May-September. Possibly three to four broods in the Deep South and Texas.
Caterpillar Hosts: Many different composites including black-eyed susan (Rudbeckia), sunflowers (Helianthus), and wingstem (Actinomeris alternifolia).
Adult Food: Nectar from flowers of red clover, common milkweed, and dogbane.

Pearl Crescent Butterfly (Phyciodes tharos)
This is video of a Pearl Crescent Butterfly. These butterflies are very active and quick to get away when approached. Capturing this video was a real blessing!
The small white crescent moon on the underside of the fore wing of the Pearl Crescent Butterfly is a helpful feature for identifying it. The small white crescent mark is seen when the butterfly has its wings raised up. This mark stands out because it is almost completely surrounded by dark brown patches. Each black and white banded antenna ends in an orange club or ball. The Pearl Crescent is very popular and quite familiar in eastern North America, but it is also found in the west as well.
Larvae feed on aster plants. The caterpillar is brown and has yellow rings on it as well as loads of spiky hairs. Adults can be seen most anywhere: fields, roadsides, forest clearings, near creeks or streams, and in gardens and backyards. They fly low to the ground and alternate between flapping their wings and gliding when in flight.
A special thanks to InsectIdentification.org for the much needed help and information for identifying this butterfly.
I hope you enjoy the video and the soundtrack music. Credits are at the end of the video, Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks for watching!

The Fall Webworm (Hyphantria Cunea)
The Fall Webworm moth (Hyphantria cunea) is a species of American tiger moth originating from Canada, North America and also Mexico. Since being introduced to Asia & Europe by humans it has become an invasive, destructive species in these places.
The Hyphantria Cunea are ferocious defoliators that eat entire woodlands when their numbers are at top levels. Aside from that, they’re generally not considered as pests in their native habitat. They are a food source for a great number of invertebrates like flies, wasps and spiders. Birds also feast on them.
Special thanks to breedingbutterflies.com and bugguide.net for providing information about this creature.
Special thanks to Alvin Risk for the soundtrack “Aces Funk.”
