A pair of Eastern tiger swallowtail butterflies began flitting around the garden yesterday. Welcome back!
Monarch butterflies are starting to appear. They particularly like Joe Pye weed.
And echinacea (coneflower) is good, too.
I think this is a skimmer dragonfly, but I am willing to be corrected.
A damselfly landed on an unknown-to-me bush.
Bumble bees flit from one plant to another. They are everywhere!
It is good that you have a lot of bees. The poor things are in trouble. Love your butterfly portraits, Jack.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the pollinators at work. Our state is a natural habitat for coneflowers. I am always happy to see butterflies. They are an indication of a healthy environment.
ReplyDeleteGood close ups.
