We have lots of other butterflies.

Fritillary Butterflies have found us as well.

I am not sure which subspecies we have. I would guess the Gulf or Mexican, but I don't know for sure.


Next to the lock is one that has attached and is beginning the process of metamorphosis. We will have to be very careful using the gate for a while until it emerges. This morning we counted 14 of them attached to the fence in various places. You can see the yard inspectors as well, Reese on the left, and Reuben on the right.


Some of them are still eating the vine and growing there are over a dozen caterpillars all over the vine.

The milkweed in the front garden is mostly stems and very little left of the leaves due to the monarchs.

There are hummingbirds and lots of other butterflies, from very small ones, to large black with yellow spots ones.
