Well, potential flutter friends. I did some deadheading and tidying up in the Bistro tonight. I also chopped the old lady’s lilac short because it was starting to look worse than it had in the original spot, but I didn’t take a picture. Anyway…

It was a rough year for the Heliopsis  (C said hers, too…probably all the drowning rain and then none at all), but a few little dudes didn’t mind that the leaves aren’t in awesome shape. I think they’re Silvery Checkerspot. Cute.

It didn’t click for a second, until I realised it was on a catalpa leaf. The Catalpa Sphinx moth isn’t much to look at, but the ‘pillars sure are pretty! Good fishing bait, too, I’m told.

I was short a Monarch at head count. I found him…he just looks different. I brought him in the house.

Not a flutter friend, but hopefully some of my friends like Great Blue Lobelia. I’m told MLBs like it even if it’s not red. I certainly do!
