Well, the deluge has stopped for the moment so I got a few pictures. First, is one I got yesterday while in between rain bands. This Gulf Frit was hiding in the butterfly garden and I scared it up when I went to pick some food. Then, today it was coneflower day. The Zebra Longwing was on the coneflower; I guess that's one more I can add to its nectar favorites. Then, I caught two of the many Duskywings that were flying around on the coneflowers. Then, a Long-Tailed Skipper sneaked in on the porterweed. Finally, as I was standing, looking at the coneflowers, Dad said, "Turn to your left." And there was a Spicebush! Haven't seen one in a little while. This one was a boy but with my spicebush beig temporarily toxic, I don't want anything laying eggs on it. It has put out some new growth with all this rain; maybe soon it will be safe to munch on.
