The warm weather has brought out many species that are not normally seen during December.  All of the photos were taken in Upson County.  The Orange Sulphur, Buckeye, Gulf Fritillary and Fiery Skipper were photographed on Dec. 11th, and the others are from Dec. 12th.  
I relocated all species seen the day before, except for the Orange Sulphur, and counted the number of individuals seen.  They are as follows:
Cloudless Sulphur- 5
Sleepy Orange- 4
Gray Hairstreak- 1
Pearl Crescent- 1
Gulf Fritillary- 15
Common Buckeye- 3
American Lady- 2
Red Admiral- 1
C/W Checkered-Skipper- 2 
Fiery Skipper- 2
