After yesterday's Holly blue, today it was the turn of the actual target species. This beautiful female brimstone butterfly spent a long time in the garden flitting around the alder buckthorn (easier to see on lilac). #PlantItAndTheyWillCome @savebutterflies.bsky.social @iolowilliams.bsky.social

Quite a few of these tiny Scabious Longhorn (Nemophora metallica) moths around on our Scabious flowers at the moment.
DYK? The male has antennae three times the length of the forewings!

Love the shape of Red Columbine! It is also well loved by hummingbirds. #gardening #plantitandtheywillcome

Thank you! I’ll share pics of the plants and the critters throughout the seasons
Both my front and back yard are 60-65% native plants and they’re coming out of dormancy so soon many flowers 🐝🐞🦋
Good vibes to you as well on your journey and mission!

Two more CA Pipevine Swallowtails eclosed today
This one found its host plant, (CA Pipevine) right away
It was wonderful to see the two find each other after release

Just a few bees sleeping in on a lazy Sunday morning. Two-spotted longhorn? #NPSOT #plantitandtheywillcome

Seeing bees buzzing between flowers in my garden brings me joy!

In the latest in a seemingly daily butterfly series of #PlantItAndTheyWillCome I arrived home to find a speckled wood laying eggs on the long grass. #NoMowSummer #NoMowMay @savebutterflies.bsky.social
