Here are a few photos of some butterflies currently flying around at the butterfly house where I volunteer as a docent.
Two Giant Swallowtails
Note these are the same kinds of butterfly!
They just have different coloring and patterns on the top and bottom side of their wings.
These next 3 photos are of a Queen butterfly.
They look a lot like a Monarch, but the do have different markings on their wings.
The Queen female does lay her eggs on milkweed plants, just like the Monarch.

Queen butterfly(wings open)
Which one is your favorite?
I love them all and of course, it is much easier to photograph them in the enclosed butterfly house.
Don't worry, there are plenty of nectar flowers for all of the butterflies in the house.
Yesterday I posted a few other photos in Part 1. Here
Have a Blessed Day!
