Boy am I ever behind!!!! Loving all the great photos from everyone plus the teachings of Melanie!
Things are blooming like crazy here. I've seen sulphurs, zebra swallowtails, giant swallowtails, black swallowtails, palamedes, queen. I have not seen zebra longwings or gulf frits or Painted ladies yet. No real skippers to speak of either.
I have been watching this butterfly for days on end now. Flitting, flitting, flitting & never stopping for more than a nano second. I've been so anxious to see it clearly & closely to figure out what it is. I knew I didn't have a chance in a million of chasing it around & finding out. The durn thing just doesn't STOP!!!! Today I was out taking pics of flowers & baby donkey & such & there was this butterfly. Camera in hand I just stood still. Rats!!!! The crazy thing won't stop. Ah! it stopped for 3/4 of a second. I'm trying to get focus on it but it keeps moving locations. Ok, these are horrid photos but at least I got enough to be able to ID it.
