The female Tiger Swallowtail
can be yellow with more blue than the male
In this form she mimics the Pipevine Swallowtail which is unpalatable to birds.

I do love your butterflies! Feeling calm and chilling out :-)
Have you ever counted the species that visit you? Honestly, I think I've only seen about 3 or 4 different butterflies at my house.
The butterflies love you!
Dear Chris,
I love yours too!
I am offering cooling waters with a slice of lime today. For supper, zucchini with fresh sliced tomatoes. Too hot to cook!
I think eating raw is delicious.
I am trying to chill....the ac is on and I have my fans blowing. One for the head and one for the feet!
I seem to run extra warm these days!

Dear Mary,
I do keep a list of butterflies that come into the yard each month.
So far in July I have seen 26 different species in my yard. I also write what they were nectaring on and the date.
I also have a life list of all the different butterflies I have seen.
I do my butterflies like I do my birds.
As I increase my host plants I should see more. There are over 200 different species in my area. Next there are the moths...
With my not sleeping very well I think I will go moth hunting in the middle of the night. At least I would be entertained.

Hi Becky!!
I have missed you.
So glad all is okay, I have been sending blessings..
I love the butterflies too.
They are so beautiful.
Not as social as the birds but a few are getting to know me.
Snout is a very sweet butterfly.

Beautiful photo of the Black Tiger butterful, Sherry!
I feel so proud of myself when a visitor to the gardens I work at asks me a question re: the gardens, or identifying a flower or an insect because now I can actually respond with a correct answer, and that is only because of visiting your blog! It is so educational, inspiring and beautiful.

Dear Kate,
Thank you.
I hope the photos and the happy ways show how important it is to care for the birds and bugs abd blooms!
I have begun a study of trees.
On my daily walk I have decided to do a tree a day! I take my ohotos and do my research. I am writing about this on Walking In Beauty. A butterfly or a bird could pop up!
I am honoured!
Thank you.
Butterfly Wings and Bird Songs,

Moth hunting in the middle of the night! LOL! You are too much, lady. 26 species! I need more attractive plants here. I can't wait!
Dear Mary,
I heard an expression once, "You can sleep when your dead".
I guess so!
The Luna Moth comes out after dark. She "scents" from midnight to three am. and the male finds her.....
Well, I'm awake. Just laying in bed "resting". I could be mothing.
I have a "star flash light" that is infered. I could see just fine with that. Now I need to figure out a moth light to attract them..
So many bugs, so much to learn.
Sherry
