In my Niantic yard today
WHITE M Hairstreak nectaring on mint
Red-banded Hairstreak nectaring on Zinnia
Flyby Cloudless Sulphur (obvious though)
Male Pipevine Swallowtail, must certainly one of my releases from eggs I
found earlier this summer on Pipevine plant.
I felt like I had moved South.
No Giant yet today, but all the usual daily visitors. Both ladies, many
Monarchs, Skippers galore and at least a gajillion honyeybees.
Mint flowers are attracting such a diverse bunch of creatures. They are
loved by American coppers as well as hairstreaks.
