Thanks, Linda. Wasn't exactly sure just where to put them so this seemed like a good place. I was out yesterday and got a few more. Our temps hit the 70s again and there was quite a bit of bf activity. Several Skippers and these...

Thanks, Sheila. Once our weather warmed again, we had quite a few bf in the yard. I don't see a large number of Buckeyes here but I love them too. My late-blooming yellow Buddleja has been very prolific in bloom this year and they are loving it now.

Those Red Admiral shots are beautiful, Tee. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before.

I've been releasing American Ladies after raising them. Here's one holding on before it took off.
