Bee and Butterflies

There was a lot of shade when I noticed the Black Swallowtail out on my Lantana at the end of June. Not many blacks visit my yard and when they do, rarely stay put long enough to get a shot. I got ONE of this guy. Coleus in the background.



There were TWO Yellow Swallowtails out among the 'Ming Toy' day lilies. Although they landed on the same flower several times, I wasn't quick enough to get a shot of them together. One shot looks like a Butterfly in Bloom.





And, finally, a bee among the Lantana.

I couldn't see them earlier today on this same device (Android tablet), but now I can. How weird!

I'm glad I can finally see them, because they are lovely. The colors are scrumptious.
