Butterflies at Last

13 years ago
Just this week in all this heat, we are seeing more butterflies: Spicebush Swallowtails, Black Swallowtails, Common Sulphurs by the dozens, Buckeyes, one Giant Swallowtail and what I think are Great Spangled Fritillaries.
These were all on the row of zinnias I planted in the Kitchen Garden.
The large bees are working the flowers like crazy too, I think they are carpenter bees.
All are clickables to enlarge and I think I have labeled what each is.
If I am wrong, please let me know. I have to get out the book every time I take a picture.
