Melanie, the butterflies have stopped going to my plumbago even though it's blooming. I've noticed some branches are dying back. I guess butterflies would know if a plant is sick because there would be less to drink. Plumbago is so hardy though. I can't figure out what's wrong with it. I always liked the plumbago b/c of the hummingbird moths, but I haven't seen any this year. Weird.

This Tropical Checkered Skipper stopped by this morning. This time I was able to get a picture of the underside of the wings, so I think it is a tropical and not a common checkered.
