Butterfly Vistors to my yard

This Zebra Swallowtail is so beautiful.  It is the smallest of the swallowtails.

This is a Red-spotted Purple.   

This is the smallest butterfly to visit.  This Gray Hairstreak landed on my sister and stayed for quite a while.  It is amazing to see that it's protection is having the fake antennas and eye on the rear end. 

This Cabbage White took a few minutes to rest so I could get his picture.  They are very quick, flying from  plant to flower around the yard.

The Easter Tiger Swallowtail.  They are the happy butterflies. Their yellow color makes me smile seeing them flying around.

This is the Question Mark.  On the wing you can see the white or silver marking.  It looks like a leaf with his wings closed.

But beautiful when he opens his wings

I believe this is the Tawny Emperor.  It is feasting on rotting apples.  It didn't even mind me being there taking it's picture.

Red Admiral enjoying the rotting apples.

American Snout.  He was by the pool for several days.  He would even land on you.

Silver-Spotted Skipper.

I rescued this Dragonfly from the pool.  They drop in every so often.

The Eastern Comma

The Eastern Comma.  It has a comma shap on it's hindwing.

The Monarch sitting on Rose of Sharon.  I am so thrilled that he or she is visiting.
