These are two kinds of the butterflies that were around today. Common Buckeye, always good to look at! And I think the other one on an old banana might be the Common Wood Nymph. Also, there were the usual suspects...lots of Gulf Fritillaries nectaring and laying eggs and Black Swallowtail...ditto, some Variegated Fritillaries and one Giant Swallowtail.

Yes, it was a great walk. Sometimes I feel it is not the safest road to walk on, but I do like it--last summer, I was looking down the bank at the stream and saw what I think was a mink! That was a first for me. |

I forgot I had a pic of some Variegated Fritillaries also. Looks like they're having a good year... one of the two is on Maypop, which they have used as a host plant lately.

Today was a good sunny day after all the rainy or cloudy windy days we have had. Everything is flying. Here are a few in the garden today.

Great pictures from both sources. I'm perpetually jealous. Though there were plenty of bees and wasps here, I didn't see a butterfly!

The monarchs arrived here late last week, and I've been seeing more and more of 'em. Makes up for those JB's.

There must have been two species flying around here lately that I have NOT seen...just judging by caterpillars. The first pic is probably a Two-tailed Tiger Swallowtail cat, found on a Hop Tree. The second (really small caterpillar) is a Red-spotted Purple caterpillar, found on Escarpment Black Cherry Tree.
