The beginning and the end of the work week brought two new visitors  
to the collection of vegetation I call my butterfly garden.

On Monday (8/22), there was a very worn Spicebush Swallowtail.  Today  
(8/26) the buddleia attracted the day-flying Corn Earworm moth  
(Helicoverpa zea) which probably matured in a neighbor's tomato plant.

The regulars continue: Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Great Spangled  
Frit., Monarchs (who have discovered my milkweed), Painted Ladies,  
and Silver spotted and Peck's Skippers.
