When I was in Provo Canyon (Utah) I was hiking on a trail and ran into a swampy area. There was an island with a lot of butterflies on it. We saw atleast a hundred flying around on this island. When I went on the island I saw three Weidemeyer Admiral butterflies. I was able to catch one of the smaller ones with my net. I like the inside of its wings because it shows a tint of purple. These are hard to find sometimes so I felt really lucky to have seen three in one place. This was my first time catching one as well.
While I was on the island we also ran into a water snake. I saw the snake sliding through a bunch of sticks and I yelled to my garndpa "A SNAKE" he ran over and then it went between a big bush and we didn't see it again. We also saw a Tortoiseshell butterfly as well. We didn't get a real close look at him but I had fun chasing him with my net.
