| The Red Admiral is one of my favorites! Good pics!

Thanks, Linda. Wasn't exactly sure just where to put them so this seemed like a good place. I was out yesterday and got a few more. Our temps hit the 70s again and there was quite a bit of bf activity. Several Skippers and these...      I garden for the pollinators. |

| Lovely pictures Songsofjoy both plants and bfs...my favorite bf is the buckeye. Try as I might here, I don't get but one ever now and again. I have plenty of their host plant too. :-( |

| Thanks, Sheila. Once our weather warmed again, we had quite a few bf in the yard. I don't see a large number of Buckeyes here but I love them too. My late-blooming yellow Buddleja has been very prolific in bloom this year and they are loving it now. I garden for the pollinators. |

| Those Red Admiral shots are beautiful, Tee. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. In the end, only kindness matters. Science is not the answer, it is the question. |

I've been releasing American Ladies after raising them. Here's one holding on before it took off.

| Wow, I'm not sure that I would have even noticed the moth. Really nice shots, Sally. In the end, only kindness matters. Science is not the answer, it is the question. |

| Very cool. I've never seen an 8 spotted forester before. Nothing that's been done can ever be changed. |
