Well, it has been a pretty lousy week for butterflies, here. It's mostly been warm enough although today we only got up to 72 (I know, more Florida People Problems). But it's been cloudy and foggy and we had scattered showers for a few days. At least I got some pictures for the bird forum. (I'm trying to learn birds now).

Dad spotted a Giant Swallowtail the other day and Mom spotted it today but so far it has eluded me. I did see this Gulf Fritillary today. Must be a male because I can't find a single egg on any of the passion vines. Of course, that will change soon enough and I'll be complaining about how they're eating it down to the stems! Hilarious! It's a vicious cycle, nature is.
