Lovely pics! Glad to know you're having such butterfly activity there. Not a very good year for butterflies in Texas. Drought, pesticides, after-effects of hurricanes, etc. I've only seen a fraction of what I should for the last couple of years! I've only seen one single Monarch this fall and it's close to peak migration for them here in my area. What a shame! This is one of four Two-tailed Tiger Swallowtails I released last week after they emerged from their chrysalises. I found the eggs on one of my trees early in the spring and raised the caterpillars to protect them against predators. I had been wondering when they would ever turn into butterflies, but all made it!
