Released my third Monarch yesterday. I have eggs on one of my plants but I'm not sure if I'll bring them in or not. The last Black Swallowtail is in his sling and ready to be a chrysalis. The Orange-Barred Sulphurs are still munching the cassia.

Caught two of my most common butterflies today. This is Horace's Duskywing who probably hangs around because I have a lot of oak trees for hosts and yummy nectar plants like these Bidens spp. because I haven't weeded in forever.
