Identification was easy because I remembered a similar butterfly on the Perennial Favorites website. Yep, it's the same one! You can click my photo to see it larger.
Another visitor to my front yard lately is a little brown mouse who has been busily harvesting the abundant seeds from all the flowers. He's too fast for photos but is surprisingly unconcerned about being seen otherwise. I just hope that he doesn't try to move indoors come fall.
Oh it's so pretty! I hardly ever get any nice butterflies.
ReplyDeleteWell if you got only one good shot I'm glad it was this one. In addition to getting a great closeup of your butterfly, you captured a tiny bit of your street, which I always enjoy seeing. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was nice to have the sidewalk as a backdrop so you can see the antennae clearly.
ReplyDeleteJust last night I took a photo of an EASTERN Tiger Swallowtail. All summer I have seen very few butterflies other than the white cabbage butterflies.
