Melanie - What a great day today! You sure managed to photograph a LOT of butterflies! I was out working in the yard for a short while and saw sooooo many butterflies myself. I keep thinking to myself ... "The butterflies have arrived!" I saw a number of Monarchs cruising around my yard today, a beautiful Giant Swallowtail was all over my Wild Lime bushes, Peacocks everywhere, and Sulphurs flying in and out of my Cassia bushes. Plus I released a very large male Monarch and a male Queen. (That sounds funny ... a "male" Queen! Sounds like he came out of the closet! lol!)

Here's a photo of both males. Interesting comparison of the two on some Porterweed.
