An Orange Sulphur #butterfly with very tattered & torn wings visiting lantana flowers in the front #garden. This butterfly has really been through some sh*t, but it’s still going.

Clearing out all the past-their-prime zinnias from the front garden bed yesterday and this giant swallowtail showed up and hung around the lantana long enough for me to go grab my camera.

Still not many #butterflies around but there’s been a bit of uptick in activity the past week. This was the first gulf fritillary I’ve seen making a stop in the front #garden, spent a little time with the mealy blue sage before flittering on.

Three #photos today. Saw this pipevine #swallowtail flittering around the backyard and eventually it zeroed in on the #pipevine I planted earlier this spring just for this species (its host plant). Captured it alighting on it then depositing a clutch of #eggs.
