I’ve never seen this Butterfly before. It was hanging on the Milkweed. It’s called a Little Sulphur Butterfly. Cute little thing.
Category Archives: Mexican Milkweed A couple of weeks ago Leecy decided to do a little crafting with the abundant amount of Mexican Milkweed seeds that we have collected from our plants. She actually made the little cards and put 1/4 teaspoon of Milkweed seeds into each packet (that’s typically much more than we have received when we’ve ordered something)....  Holy Cow! Today there were Butterflies everywhere in the backyard. We had a Monarch, Question Mark, Variegated Fritillary, Giant Swallowtail, Grey Hairstreak, Eastern Black Swallowtail, some type of Crescent Butterfly, and a Pipevine Swallowtail. I got a few pictures, but I missed several and several others weren’t that good as I got over-excited. The plants...  Riddle me this Batman. Monarchs have already made it up to Canada, and yet this female Monarch I saw today was laying eggs on the Milkweed. Isn’t she a little behind schedule? Don’t get me wrong, I was happy to see her, but I’m thinking most of her “friends” have already long gone. Based on...  Got Milkweed?, because we sure do. Every day for the past week we’ve been picking about 15-20 open Milkweed Seed Pods. During the Fall, we could really fill up the backyard full of Milkweed if we wanted, but well probably just keep some, and share with others who need them. |
