I'm loving everyone's butterfly photos! It's weird but I haven't seen a lot of butterflies this year ... last year there were tons of different types. We've had a few Monarch's around this year, one got trapped on the screened porch last week and I took a tissue and gently scooped it from the screen and released it out the door where it immediately flew to some flowers and began feeding. It was the largest Monarch I've ever seen and I wish I'd gotten a picture.

I've seen a couple of Swallowtails and White Peacock's lately and lots of the tiny Cassius Blues and Tawny Edged Skippers have been all over the Beach Sunflowers (Helianthus debilis).
