these two butterflies on a milkweed. I went home
and looked it up cause I'm not always right on with the ID.

I think this is the Great Spangled Fritillary to be exact.
It was fun to see them on the pink milk weed ball
The only times I want to take the butterflies is when they
are on a colorful flower
It's pleasing to the eye
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on my purple Butterfly Bush
Yellow on Purple...can't ask for anything prettier
ahhhhh.. maybe you can. Along came a little fella I hadn't
seen yet this summer
The Clearwing Sphinx Moth is sometimes mistaken for a
hummingbird. In fact it is called the 'Hummingbird Moth'
It hovers above a flower sipping nectar
with it's long feeding tube.(proboscis)
When finished it curls the tube under the chin and moveson to the next flower
Hence, Clearwing, as you can see thru it's wings
It's back looks almost like fur and has a greenish tint..again... mistaking it for a hummingbird
A Summer PA sky... just as nice as the ones we saw in
Shenandoah VA... I would say.
