My show and tell for this Friday are these photos of some of the pretty winged visitors to my butterfly bush.
This first one is of a red admiral butterfly. These are probably my most frequent guests. Sometimes one will actually land on me for a few seconds.
This painted lady wouldn't let me get too close. Her wings are so pretty when open, but she was a bit camera shy.
A pretty tiger swallowtail stopped by for a visit:
And this majestic monarch kept teasing me by landing close by and then taking off as soon as I would try to take his picture. Don't you just love his spots?
I love sitting on the front porch in the summertime and watching what stops by. I'm still waiting on my favorite black eastern swallowtails to pay me a visit.
Thank you for looking at my show and tell and thank you Kelli for hosting.
