Polydamas Triplets

I say triplets, but in reality we had 7 Polydamas hatch today, but 4 of them flew off as soon as I released them.  The remaining 3 I placed on the new plant I bought from Joshua’s Native Plants (Hummingbird Bush).

The first shot is of the “triplets.”

Here’s a shot with the wings spread out.

This last shot I took with my Macro lens.  If you click on the picture to view it full size, you’ll see that these Butterflies are rather hairy and have very long tongues (proboscis).
