I don't know if I am more aware of my surroundings this year or if there really are a lot more species of butterflies out, but another one of these guys flew right into my car today as I was unloading some items. He hung out for a while right inside the door until he hopped out and stayed in the grass for a while. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a good picture...I thought I had a good close up but they all came out blurry...Bummer, because it really was a beauty!
Chanda,
He is beautiful. I saw once in my back yard yesterday, it was orange and yellow. I wished I had a camera!
That's a beautiful specimen for sure. Have you planted some butterfly attracting plants this year? That would bring them in...
Faina, I'm sure it was a beauty. Too bad you didn't have your camera...
Evelyn, I haven't done anything different this year...I am planning on doing something a bit different next year so the hummingbirds and butterflies will have something to forage in...
Maybe the warm weather has brought them out. I have seen quite a few new comers to our yard as well.
This is good enough, Chanda. These guys are so beautiful. Shame they have such a short life.
Thanks everybody...Hoping to snap a photo of a different one before the season is over...
