Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: DAILY PICTURES #101, 3 by mellielong

Well, I was waiting for the ball game to come on and was about to fall asleep so I figured I'd get up and take a wak around the yard. So that means more pictures! First, is another one of my Gulf Fritillary friends. I was glad to see they like the new coneflowers. Plants in my yard must be butterfly-approved, LOL! Next, is the only picture I could capture of a female Great Southern White before she flew off (females can be gray instead of white). Then, I walked over to my neighbor's side of the street and saw a little Phaeon Crescent. I also saw one of those hummingbird moths (Snowberry Clearwing I think they're called) but it was too fast for my camera skills.

Dad confirmed three Monarchs in the yard - two boys and a girl. I saw the girl over by the milkweed but it's in such sad shape I'm not sure she'll want to lay any eggs on it.

That's the report for now,
