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)!
Wonderful...I was thinking, where were you to get all those critters! Ah, and the window gives a clue!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is an active gardener and she has many plants that attract bees and butterflies. Visiting for a few days.
DeleteThis is a great series, Jack!
ReplyDeleteEchinacea was grown commercial around here. I am sure the wildlife enjoyed its flowers. You found some wonderful visitors to your flowers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures.
