A very common, yet beautiful butterfly. I enjoy seeing these and cabbage whites pretty much everyday.

I wasn't expecting to see monarchs this late in the year. I figured they'd all left as some of our nights have been in the mid-20s Fahrenheit. This one is a male.

I didn't mean to interrupt her while she's doing her private business, but she was too beautiful to ignore.

Accidentally discovered this cool pokey lil guy in my yard when it hitched a ride on my shirt. I took it back to the elm tree from whence it came, and found a handful more! Looking forward to watching them become butterflies.

The common, but beautiful mud dauber wasp. I can see my terrible form in its abdomen. I need to tuck my elbows more.

Cool looking neon skimmer that landed near my tomatoes. Not entirely sure where it came from as the nearest pool of water is pretty far and very shallow. Still fun to see and happy it stuck around for a photo shoot! 😊
