A female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail in flight to the next flower . . .

Even though the Cabbage White Butterfly caterpillar is a major pest to brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, et cetera), the white butterfly can be a pretty sight as it flits about, and it can be quite the quick flitter . . .

The monarch activity has begun to wane as September winds down, and really enjoyed their visits over the last several weeks. Sometimes several monarchs were active at once, along with the birds, bees, moths and other creatures . . .

A female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail captured in flight while flitting among the flowers.

Not many Black Swallowtails graced us with their presence this summer, so it was a real treat to capture this male as it spent a little time gathering some nectar on its journey to somewhere.

This female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail may have a couple of battle scars, but she is still a beauty and flits through the flowers with grace and ease.
