While I was waiting for my butterfly to dry, I decided to walk up and down the street to see what was going on. I like to judge other people's lawns and remind myself why mine is so superior! Mostly, I just get angry at the invasive plants I see. As I was walking I'm pretty sure I saw an Orange Barred Sulphur because that thing was huge! And orange! It landed on my neighbor's camellia but flew away before I could get a pic. The Gulf Frits are also out in force.

At the end of the street one of our neighbors has what she calls "wildflowers" and everyone else calls "weeds". She actually uses all native plants, including a lot of the same ones I have. However, if you don't maintain them and keep them neat they end up looking like weeds. I think she's a nice lady though and I discovered that apparently all the zebra longwings are hanging out at her house when they're not visiting me. They were enjoying her large firebushes and porterweed. Her house is very shaded so I think they probably like that, too.
