And a lingering BST cat on Parsley

cute cat:-) is that a black swallowtail? I haven't seen an American lady yet, I hope I get to see one here someday.

The AL is so beautiful! Some of my asters are blooming now, and the others, like the Georgia asters, are in bud.

The BST cat is just adorable!

nice photos leafhead. Painted ladies have been scarce up north this season.

We had a monarch straggler come through the garden in Minnesota today...he nectared in our benary's giant zinnias until the sun started fading. He is probably sleeping in up in a tree. It's supposed to be warm this week so hopefully he'll hang out for a bit. Tony

Thanx for the posts.
Tony, I hope you've had more than ONE Monarch this Fall.
I've had an abundance of Ladies this year...
Hawaii, yes, that is a Black Swallowtail (BST).

here's another shot of the Lady who is still around...

Look who stopped in for lunch and temporary lodging...

And another shot...
