We came from here:
The thread "November 2015 Butterflies, Moths & Larva " in
Gardening for Butterflies, Birds and Bees forum
It may be December but the butterflies are still flying in Florida! I have to run to Target to fulfill my role as Melanie Claus, but let me leave you with a few pretty photos first.
I got to MOSI really early because I couldn't sleep. The Zebra Longwings didn't have that problem - they were roosting together.
Malachites were still pretending to be leaves.
Julias, too.
I found me a big, fat Polydamas caterpillar!
Saw a male Monarch on the Oleander. Didn't have my net, but I had a popup to collect caterpillars. It works pretty well with butterflies, too!
This Malachite and Monarch were basking on the screen.
The Long-Tailed Skipper was basking, too.
Everyone was basking!
I released a Zebra Longwing and it must have been female because this other Zebra started flying around her.
I think the turtles were plotting another escape. We put a new fence up to keep them from climbing out.
And back at my house, this White Peacock was basking in the lawn.
Okay, let me go be productive and run errands. I'll be back soon. In the meantime, don't forget to vote in the photo contest. There are so many fabulous entries - I can't decide!
