I saw this fast butterfly on my purple vining Lantana yesterday. I tried to snap a better photo, but it was just not going to oblige me! I looked at the wing pattern and it does indeed appear to be a PL! Yay!

I am always excited to see new butterflies in my yard. I also saw a "wild" Monarch in the yard yesterday too. I always know the wild ones because they won't let me get near them. I think it might have been a female Monarch! So perhaps she'll start laying eggs for me. My Milkweed is getting lots of leaves now. Not very tall yet, but getting a bit more bushy!
