Hi everyone! Just wanted to share photos I took around our garden with the butterflies and other insects that I see at times. I have been consulting Janet of Bugs cubits in getting the ID of these wonderful critters. The critters often hover around my Gaillardia, Golden Yarrow and Lantana. In our garden I notice the yellow butterflies were more active in Spring. It is funny sometimes there are critters that look like bees but were in fact not
Whatever color or purpose our critters have...I feel they add extra life in our gardens as the seasons change..For this year, yeah, the butterflies were not around as frequent as they used too..but I have other critters around

I was waiting for the hummingbird, but I got a shot of this one instead:
This lovely dragonfly grips tightly our aenoium arboreum

A very lovely butterfly resting on the Schefflera
This one is a Skipper butterfly
This one, I thought was a bee, and I was told it is a Syrphid fly on enjoying the Gaillardia:
A moth who loves to camouflage itself by our stucco
I know most people would not like to have a black widow near them, but I tolerate them,
they are quite shy and nocturnal, so I make sure I really wear gloves..do not want their bite
