The very hungry caterpillar

Swallowtail Butterflies

New Blooms

Black Swallowtail Caterpillars

Found these yesterday on the fennel. They are in the first instar stage.

Hummers

Just put up the hummingbird feeder for the late summer/fall ruby-throated hummingbirds that frequent our yard. It only took them 10 minutes to find it!
