A silver-spotted skipper (Epargyreus clarus) enjoying nectar from Pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata).

You can spot these in the restored wetland habitat at Friendship Forest Wildlife Sanctuary in Clarkston. 🪻🦋🪻 Pickerelweed plays a special role in supporting healthy watersheds. Along with providing habitat, their substantial root system acts a natural water filter and sediment stabilizer! 🪻🦋🪻
