I captured this guy on a sunny morning in July of 2022 chowing down on a giant Joe Pie Weed that we planted just for him. ☺️

Butterflies in our garden here in West Virginia are much fewer than what I was used to in Maryland. Of course that could be because our gardens there were larger, but even at that, we tried hard to plant butterfly-loving flowers and shrubs when we moved in. The year 2022 wasn't bad for our little winged friends, but our buggy visitors were pretty scarce in 2023 and especially 2024. I was a little worried, and very disappointed, but I'm happy to say that this year, 2025, was a big improvement. We've seen a pretty good return of the butterflies and moths and skippers this year.
