Creature of the Year Award 2023

 

Congratulations to the winner of the 2023 Urban Wildlife Guide Creature of the Year Award, the common buckeye butterfly! This false-eye-flashing beauty was featured in October's "Buckeye Butterflies" blog. Click on this sentence to revisit that blog. Take a bow, tricky butterfly! Click on the photo to enlarge.

In the event that buckeye butterfly is unable to fulfill the duties of creature-of-the-year, the first runner up, juicy delicious New Jersey peaches, will step in. This is the first time in the history of the contest that a fruit has been chosen (or should we say picked?). Click here to visit the peach blog.

In closing, we wish to honor the 2023 passing of Chase T. Cat. She was among the best of tabbies. We miss her.
