This beautiful painted lady butterfly stopped to rest and eat before continuing on its travels. Some springs we have seen mass migrations of these butterflies.
In the past week I've also seen a mourning cloak, monarch and a checkered white in the yard. I'm hoping that the drift of nectar producing native plants we've added to the front hillside will attract and nourish a growing number of our native butterflies. Creating habitat for wildlife begins with providing natural food, shelter and water.
