It looked like it had possibly just hatched. Was sitting there shivering. When I just went to check, it was gone. I have quite a lot of butterflies in my yard and have ever since I moved to this town, but I think there are less each year. At least we give them somewhere to come to with our gardens! Loved the photos.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-30338474603818646672016-06-10T09:30:56.644-05:002016-06-10T09:30:56.644-05:00Thank you.

I'm not sure how many I'd be able to photograph today.
