What a wonderful day you had! And your photos are incredible. Such intense color and light. Thank-you so much for taking the trouble to share with us all. I hope your luck is contagious and we all begin to see as many butterflies as you have seen.

Thanks Martha! Today was by far the best butterfly day so far this year. I hope they just keep coming :)

How beautiful! You must be in Florida. :)

Sherry

Great photos. You really have a large assortment of butterflies. Do you have Paw paws to attract the Zebra Swallowtails, or do you live somewhere close to a wildlife area that does?

Rhonda,

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing; they so beautiful and such an amazing variety!

Mary

Now, that is a banner butterfly day!!! Woo-hoo!!! Wonderful. To have 2 Zebra species at the same time must be so awesome. You are indeed blessed. Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks everyone! I live in Florida, 10 miles sw of Williston in the longleaf pine sandhills. There are a lot of native host plants that grow wild around here, including paw paw, passion vine, milkweed.
I also plant host plants as well as tons of nectar plants. When we moved here from Ohio 5 years ago, I really thought I was going to miss my lush, green grass. But, having a much larger variety of butterflies, birds (tons of bluebirds, woodpeckers), gopher tortoises, Sherman fox squirrels, snakes, more than makes up for it.
Thanks for all the kind words, Rhonda

WOW! That's fantastic!!

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone! Can't wait til this weekend to see what I can capture (with my camera).
