What a bunch of beauties you you have all been posting! I am sooo green with envy, but I can always lurk a bit here.

So far I have no butterflies...just some Cabbage Whites, a few Azures and the occasional "flash" of Orange that goes by at lightning speed.

But today I saw my first Hummingbird Moth of the season. YAY! I've only seen them on my Monarda. Never on anything else. They seem to like it best when the blooms are fully opened and almost waning.

I did manage to get some pics. These next 8 are some of the better ones along with a couple of Cabbage Whites.
