Variegated Fritillary (Euptoieta claudia) & 2 Honey Bees & a Cucumber Beetle

I have only seen a Variegated Fritillary here once in four years (I get lots of Gulf Fritillary's) . Now this past 4 days...I am seeing at least one everyday ! I am delighted !

I have not seen many Bees at all in the past 2 Summers (which is worrying).... and now suddenly this past 3 weeks... Honey Bees everywhere. JOY !!

The Cucumber Beetles... well.... they are always bumbling around !

EXPLORED !

Wow, what a brilliant capture, Pam! I haven't seen much in the way of butterflies this year, but I have seen an increase of honey bees this year, too! I take it as a very good sign. Next year I must plant more butterfly-friendly plants in my garden :-)
