butterfly (emperor –tawny or hackberry)? sipping frostweed nectar
The butterflies have drifted through, a few at a time. I have not been able to spend much time getting pics of them.
I apologize that the pics are not sharp. (prime lens needed). I used a tripod for most of these. Of course, after cropping, the pixels went from 18 to about 12 or probably less thus reducing the sharpness.
Top 3 pics are of the queen butterfly.

Great pictures. I have never seen that type of flower before. It’s so delicate.
Thank you for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment. The Frostweed is a great native flower that really attracts butterflies and honey bees. I let it grow just about anywhere it comes up. Some of it I mow or chop down but I leave a lot of it to grow as it chooses.
