Flutterbys

We seem to have a lot of butterflies this year, and it's been just lovely. I took these photos the same afternoon. They really love the coneflowers and tall pink phlox and fireweed best, it seems. Except for that Great Spangled Fritillary who had a thing for the Squeezos (last photo)! We'd used the Squeezos to make tomato juice, and they were in a tote on the porch, waiting to be put back in the cellar top.


Black Swallowtail, I think? and Appalachian Tiger Swallowtail.



This guy swent right down in the tote several times. I was afraid he'd get stuck.

  2. Those are great photos. You must have a healthy, balanced environment. I saw my first monarch yesterday and lots of wooly worms already. Is that a sign of something?

  12. I've discovered this year that butterflies LOVE catnip!
