Squeak for yourself, brighteyes.
today's sightings: numerous zebra longwings, (Heliconius charitonius) a
number of polydamas swallowtails (which I refuse to call gold rim), a
skipper or two (I don't do skippers) and countless warblers, which are
practically butterflies and which love my bird bath. 
The parula warblers are happy to take baths in company; the other
warblers insist on taking turns. 
We have the cleanest redstarts in town, I am proud to say. 
I do not know whether I am getting many visitors or many hits, but I am
getting plenty of action anyway. 
If I got up off my comfy couch and went outside, I bet I'd see even more
butterflies. I could even have run over to the new Barry Grunow
Butterfly Garden at Florida Atlantic University, but I don't wanna. The
article about it said proudly that they had planted blue daze and
pentas. The photo shows porterweed ... the only larval host I see there
is milkweed. and a plastic butterfly. Three guesses what kind. As long
as I don't go and look, I can pretend that the reporter just didn't
notice all the brassicas  and legumes and  Lippia ... 
Oh well.

(Where butterflies spend the winter, but which, nevertheless, is in the
northern hemisphere, last I looked. You have been mislepped.)
