Doubles Anyone? Show us your pics of multiple butterflies.

A couple of hairstreaks... They really love the perilla plants.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtails

More ETS. There were about 5 of them on this bush, but I couldn't get more than 2 in one pic. Darn it anyway.

Stunning photos...thank you for sharing!

Nanny, if I hadn't already seen great photos from you, I would wonder if you photoshoped those cabbage whites!! LOL! They look like carbon copied.

Awww, shucks....thank you! This old nany will learn how to use her camera yet! lol

Got this of a Buckeye and a Painted Lady

Couple of Painted Ladies -

2 Cabbage Whites -

Double Buckeyes!

Jmorth, What kind of Asters are those?
Nanny, LOve the Buckeyes!!

New England Asters - an Illinois (and elsewhere) wildflower.

Oh wow yours are way ahead of mine! Mine are no where near blooming yet. : )

Two for one!

HAHA. "Of all the leaves in all the gardens… YOU had to be on mine!"

Great Shots everyone.
Jmorth - glad to see those NEAsters again this year!!!
I'm having a hard time getting any doubles this year, but here's my first this year.

I believe this is a clouded sulphur with maybe a fiery skipper.
Notice the skippers wings were really deformed.

pford, The asters are just now starting to gear up...so far it has primarily drawn Painted Ladies, Cabbage Whites, Skippers, and occasional Monarch and Buckeye. Painted Lady has dominated number-wise. Some giant self-seeded sunflowers elsewhere in the garden have thus far been the biggest Monarch draw.

Buckeye and Painted Lady in a low-growing mint I use as a groundcover. This mint pulls in multi-banded wasps, black and white wasps, all kinds of bees, and some butterflies.

Another pic of Buckeye and Lady:

Monarchs at Sunflowers -

I really like that last one.

jmorth...That is a georgeous pic with the Monarchs and sunflowers, so colorful.

I really like that first one of buckeye and lady. All my plants are fading fast. :(

Painted Lady & Buckeye

Here's a group of Sulphurs having a meeting - - -Oh, I guess actually they're getting a nice drink where some water was on the ground -it's been really dry here, so they flock to any bit of water that wets the soil!

(Please ignore the unmowed grass! LOL!)

If I thought I would get to see that many sulphurs in one spot; I wouldn't mow ever!!

Since I started growing Cassia Alata, I have too many sulphurs to count around here! They multiply like crazy on it and are just everywhere! The un-mown lawn is just a byproduct of watching the butterflies! :-)

How cool is that!!

I counted 7 in this shot - 6 Painted Ladies and a Monarch.

oh my gosh!!

Beautiful! And so is that flower...is it an aster?

WOW!!

Yes, New England Aster...

Wow, beautiful pics! I just remembered this thread, so I'll put this one here. On Frostweed, a sulfur and two GSTs. Having a good butterfly day!

Jmorth, I'll be there soon with my shovel!!!
