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.

ReplyDeleteThose 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?

ReplyDeleteI've discovered this year that butterflies LOVE catnip!
