I took only a couple of photos, but I saw lots; it was a good day for flutter-guy watching.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Spicebush Swallowtail, battle-scarred but still beautiful.

I also saw a couple of Monarchs, Red-Spotted Purple, Cloudless Sulphur, Orange Sulfur, Common Buckeye, Northern Crescent (or Pearl…can’t keep those two straight), Silver-spotted Skipper, and a cute little Eastern Tailed-blue.

I harvested cosmos seeds, and kept finding spiders in the seed container. I almost grabbed this lovely (nearly patternless) nursery web spider before I realized there was a very good reason I had spiders in the seed container…that’s great camouflage!
