A pair of Silver-spotted Skipper butterflies, Epargyreis clarus, pollinating purple wildflowers , winged loosestrife, Lythrum alatum, by the side of a lake, Rockefeller State Park Preserve, Mount Pleasant, Westchester County, New York, USA, August 2019. Based upon my research, to the best of my knowledge this appears to be the native plant winged loosestrife, and not the invasive purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria.
