Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) on a Zinnia

There are so few butterflies here this year,,, desperately so. We have extreme heat and heat indices up to 129F(53.8C) and everything is dying.

My Zinnias normally last all summer and so do the wonderful wild False Sunflowers but this year.. all are dying... a plague of black beetles are devouring much leaf growth and its also a Bagworm year on the tree leaves.

The trees are in heat shock too and shedding leaves already.

I am ready for Winter... you can't be outside anyway in this heat.

EXPLORED !

Exquisite detail and a beautiful composition, Pam! It is extremely hot and humid where I live, too. Though I will always prefer summer over winter, when it gets this hot, it's tough to stay comfortable, especially as I don't work in an air conditioned environment ;-)

53,8 °C ?? - Oh, Pam, I never would be able to live in such a heat. It would kill me.
Am very glad with our "bad" summer this year; the most days between 20 and 25 degrees.
Good times for a lot of things to da. But: we have only less butterflies ...
