I saw a Mourning cloak! I saw a Mourning cloak! I saw a Mourning cloak!

I saw a Mourning Cloak this morning in my garden and I'm so excited! -- Aren't they beautiful? See why I get excited when I see one?

***not my photo!***

I have had a couple Monarchs, and I saw a birdshit butterfly (it's real name is Red Admiral). Usually there are more Red Admirals than everything else.

The other day, I even saw a black swallowtail. Woot!

This is the swallowtail that was getting some moisture from a puddle I created, watering in some new plants.

Look up swallowtails. Black and yellow swallowtails. Interesting!
