To the day !

It certainly pays to keep records -- The Eastern Swallowtail butterfly has been in counties all around us -- Knew our time was getting near -- So, last year on July 5, 2016 -- The first one appeared ( but an hour later ) -- Today -- One ETS -- Eastern Tiger Swallowtail -- In the yard -- Along with Carpenter bees and Skippers -- And the elusive Hummingbird ! What a great start for the day -- ** 4 notes ** © All Rights Reserved

Cabbage White ( Pieris rapae ) -- Enjoying Verbena in bloom - There were two of them - So keeping up with them became a challenge - ** 2 notes ** .. note on right side - there is a 'guest ' on a stem of Verbena .. Have researched and found nothing to match ... Didn't see it when taking the photos .. But, there it is ... in there .. Went back out and of course it was gone ! © All Rights Reserved
