Can anyone tell me why I have so many of these and the green ones? They don't hang around the front of the house where all the plants are, but in the back which only has grass and very little of that due to the lack of rain this year. And why don't I have all the butterflies I'm so used to seeing everywhere else except here in Texas?

I agree on being fun to watch!
Most I've seen have been rather friendly and one in particular seemed as though he just wanted his picture taken - he would adjust himself in front of the camera - fluttering away a couple of inches and switching sides - not really bothered by the big lens coming at him each time - he just watched me as I was watching him. CUTE!

They are fun to watch! The males patrol the water, while the female hovers and taps the water with her abdomen, laying eggs.
