Echinacea and Guests


A big Eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly spends a lot of time 
flitting from one coneflower (Echinacea) to another.


A monarch butterfly made a cameo appearance.


Bumble bees are full-season residents.


But a yellow jacket was an interloper.


A green dragonfly paid a house call.


As did a silver-spotted skipper butterfly.


And a camera-shy goldfinch (through the window)!

  1. Wonderful...I was thinking, where were you to get all those critters! Ah, and the window gives a clue!

  3. Echinacea was grown commercial around here. I am sure the wildlife enjoyed its flowers. You found some wonderful visitors to your flowers.
