and NO CLUE where to look to id any of them. I have a common yellow butterfly, Gulf Frits I recognize, saw a hummingbird moth on the salvia this morning, a 2 toned black butterfly with about 5 bright blue dots lower curve, a black and orange line and dot butterfly with a swallowtail shape, hmmm, haven't spotted any of the lunar moths yet this year, tho... ANY suggestions where to research for the beginner watcher? Camera bit the dust on batts-doesnt like summer heat at all, til I can replace them I have no pics tho
