Thanks Sylvain, Nancy and jnana!

That white butterfly has similar markings as a cloudless sulphur. Great picture. What camera do you use? This digital one drives me nuts. I learned on a manual a LONG time ago.

I need to get over to the BW sometime. My property is a Florida registered butterfly garden. The woman who started this garden was a horticulturist high school teacher--it is an amazing one acre place. We've lived here 4+ years. After the 'canes it's all I can do to deal with debris and vines.

We lost much, but the butterflies did great. In fact, after the twin 'canes in '04 butterflies came from all around, probably from loss of habitat. We were probably the only few flowers left in the area for awhile...

Love your thread,

Connie
