mellielong said:Lin, we don't actually get Atalas or Julias here in Tampa either. My boss trades with some other butterfly gardens to get them. In fact, this is the first year we ever had Atalas. But all of our butterflies are Florida natives and it's kind of cool telling people how the Atala was at one time considered extinct in Florida. It presents a nice opportunity to teach people about the importance of host plants in their gardens.


Very cool! Yes, tell us more. I want to know like Lin does.
Great photos everyone!
I'm still seeing lots of gulf frits, cloudless sulfurs, lots of different kinds of skippers & zebra longwings. I just haven't had time to go chasing butterflies to get the photos. Grumbling Soon, I hope very soon......
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
