Butterflies

I talked about planting milkweed to attract Monarch Butterflies in the Olivia’s Fence post.  This summer I have seen 4 and we saw a pair mating while sitting on the front porch.  I planted the first milkweed about 10 years ago and those are the first Monarchs we have seen.  We have had more butterflies this summer than I can ever remember.  I saw 5 Tiger Swallowtails at one time just last week.  I got a photo of 2 of them.  Hey – how neat is that!!!  Click on the picture and enlarge it!
