This is the time that Eliza Howell Park butterfly enthusiasts have been waiting for! The wildflower field is now ablaze with blooms and the butterflies are coming for the nectar.

Hete is a photo report of some of my favorite observations from yesterday and today.

1. American Lady

2. Black Swallowtail

3. Monarch

4. Red Admiral

5. Common Wood-Nymph

6. Great Spangled Fritillary

7. Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Snowberry Clearwing. (This is one of the day-time moths that are sometimes called “hummingbird moths” because they hover at flowers like hummingbirds.)

Butterfly Watching has been getting better almost daily. I am looking forward to my next visit to the park.
