We've talked about putting in a butterfly garden. I think we're halfway there already without even trying.
The Monarchs are migrating right now and occasionally stop by even though there's no milkweed here that I can find.
We have several smaller Viceroys living in the yard.
And a couple of yellowish Cloudless Sulphurs hang out around the lemon tree.
There are several other less spectacular moths and butterflies out there right now I still need to identify. If we can pick the right plants for them (and others still to be attracted) maybe next year we can sit outside in a silent cloud of colorful wings.
Don't even get me started on the dragonflies with the four inch wingspans.
