Nice photos Russell! Amanda, when I went hiking I was seeing tons of those black damselflies. They kept fooling me into thinking they were butterflies.

Well, Mom went to get the mail outside and she barely opened the door before she was yelling at me to bring my camera. Turns out I had a Black ST on my new milkweed. Like I've said; it's a great nectar plant, too! I also found the Gulf Frit hanging around, and a male Monarch.

Not pictured is the Zebra Longwing which didn't want to hold still. I also found a couple more Monarch cats that I brought inside; they were on the native milkweed and I need it to recover from the last round of chomping.
