spot the butterfly

 We've been seeing lots of butterflies the last few days. On the weekend at Lemoine Point we were on the look out for monarch caterpillars. Wesley is determined to find one and bring it home to watch it hatch. He's great at identifying milk weed so I'm sure sooner or later we'll find one ( i have a feeling it's still a little early).


not sure what this little guy was but he was pretty tiny!

A little wood Satyr
There was a little Azure blue in the back yard for about an hour yesterday. It drank from the mud in the garden for a while, and was pretty social. It flew around the kids in circles for a while, then back to the mud. The kids thought it was pretty neat! I was excited too, I've seen the little blue butterflies around, but i've never seen them up close. They are BEAUTIFUL!
