Wow Sherry!! Those are some terrific butterfly fotos. It was nice to see some more of your flowers as well. ...and that hairy caterpiller--I don't think that I have ever seen one that hairy before. The colour was pretty as well.
A lovely selection of photographs Sherry. The contrast between the faded and the normal Monarch is quite striking.
Stunning,..you are so lucky to have such a variety of butterflies and bird life,..love the Fuzzy Little Caterpillar,looks like a day old chick.
Thank you everyone...wouldn't it be interesting to follow a butterfly around to see all what he has seen? Some of the ragged butterflys, are they old or have they just escaped the birds or been battered down by the wind? I did hear about Mosquito Hill Nature Preserve banding butterflys , I wish I would of heard all of the story.
Beautiful photos Sherry! I like them a lot. Such amazing butterflies on beautiful flowers and that fuzzy little caterpillar looks like it would be very soft like you could almost cuddle with it.
