It will be two more months before I see any flowers here. Will have to watch what lands on what. I have butterflies: swallowtails in both yellow/black and black/blue, cabbage buterflies, tiny blue ones (not sure what the name is), victorias, and rarely monarchs, hawkmoths, moths, Bumble bees, mason bees, wasps, and my favs....Ruby throated Hummingbirds!!! I am out in the boonies so I'm still waiting for most to find my garden. Woodpeckers, bluebirds, robins, wrens, chickadees, westernbluejays and regular bluejays, hawks, falcons and meadowlarks (probably more, will have to watch and see what shows up this year). Heard a pair of white owls this evening, just before coming inside, nice. Love living in the country. Some other kritters will be showing themselves soon; raccoons, cyotes, the four legged creadents (you know those bambi things which I will gladly ship anywhere), saw a red fox running up the neighbors driveway yesterday. Yup, I got some beauties.

Pix: four baby raccoons and mama (early, 'bout 530am in juneish).
