    Nice! We won't seem them until late July, but we have a few brown leaf-shaped pretty ones around.

    ThreeC, July seems about right for us too.
    Maybe this momma monarch just wants a head start on the season.

    Let's hope for a bumper crop of butterflies to replenish the winter loss.

    She's probably as tired of winter as we are and has decided to start summer early. I don't blame her a bit!

    Ah, Spring at last. I have several of the little blue ones. I think they're Sulphur butterflies, but I'm not sure. I made a mud bath for them and they seem to enjoy it.
    Sixty more days Dani, l'll be there.
    Love you Baby Girl

    Gosh, I clearly don't know as much about butterfly seasonality as everyone else around here. But I sure enjoyed that photo! Thanks, Dani.

    I love nature nerds! The Easter bunny brought Ella a butterfly house. Now we have to mail away for the painted lady caterpillars I suppose we should wait for it to get a little warmer? MFD
