Good job. Like you I have had a good season with the Butterflies. I was worried at first, but they finally made their appearance known!

Glad to hear you have had butterflies. For me, it has been a slow summer, but hope to see some this fall.

Looks like you’re having fun! I’m growing partridge pea for the cloudless sulphur as a host plant and get quite a few. Gulf fritillary are establishing a colony now.

[@davethebutterflyguy9841]

Good luck with the fritillary, I think they are a fabulous butterfly!

We got our first swallowtails, all the earlier ones passed us up ......

[@davethebutterflyguy9841]

I haven't seen many Black Swallowtails this summer. My Parsley plants are growing crazy!

What you have marked as a Red Spotted Admiral doesn’t look like what I thought one looks like. It looks like an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail to me. Am I mistaken? BTW I absolutely love your garden!

[@davethebutterflyguy9841]

I think I have this right. It is hard to tell but this butterfly is much smaller than the swallowtail and it has no tails. I think if you google Red Spotted Admiral images it looks like the one I had in my garden. Thanks for viewing and commenting, I really appreciate it.

@@davethebutterflyguy9841 No problem. I don’t think we are seeing the same thing. I see a black and blue butterfly in your video, no orange/red at all. Anyway, I know what you mean so all is okay. I have watched many of your videos and wish I had the property to have a garden like yours but w/o a lot of work. I am presently hand-raising monarchs in a suburban area. I have released 5 so far with 36 more to go.
