Butterflies!

 4 american lady butterflies visit echinacea.

 pollinators on the watermelons... cabbage white above, checkered fritillary below.

And a gulf fritillary...

 Pipevine Swallowtail nectaring at the lantana.

A pair of long-winged skippers....

 The orange cosmos is a big draw.... buckey and checkered frit.

I spent hours trying to get a photograph of one of the zebra longwings... don't get many..... they are as rare as the monarchs....

Speaking of which... Finally a monarch... nectared at the zinnia patch, but I didn't see it find any of the milkweeds.

These gray tree frogs are simply too cute for words!
