Happy #LearnAboutButterfliesDay! We are eagerly looking forward to the season ahead 🦋

Painted ladies are fueling up for their Fall migration. Just look at that proboscis go!

[Flutterby Project @fluttrbyproject]

Well, that’s one funny looking monarch J 😂😆

[Flutterby Project @fluttrbyproject]

Oh dear...

This monarch caterpillar thinks s/he’s outsmarted the parasitic wasps by pupating on a Rue plant. Clearly s/he doesn’t know that Rue is a host for black swallowtail caterpillars 🤦‍♀️

The hummingbird moths seem to favor the verbena bonariensis blooms in the garden ..... such a delight to watch although wasn’t expecting the bump at the end of this video😬🙈🌸

@Anniesk @mothermaii Those appear to be cabbage white butterflies. They really do enjoy puddling!

A couple strong and healthy @FlutterbyHQ alumni on a Kent Beauty Oregano. What a stunning colour contrast!

The #Monarch Migration is alive and well at the 50th parallel this season! Scores have been spotted at #FlutterbyHQ. Check this out — three on this one swamp #milkweed flower head alone 🤯 #ShareYourMonarchs

Yikes! 😱 This lucky monarch egg came dangerously close to being part of a bush bunny’s breakfast.

[Flutterby Project @fluttrbyproject]

@steverswinburne Thanks so much! 😊

[Flutterby Project @fluttrbyproject]

Have you ever seen a hatching #monarch egg up close? So much cuteness! 😊

@BSburks @EcoSystemGarden @TJoyStahl Same here! Lots of black swallowtails in these parts, but rarely do we see these beauties in any stage.

[Flutterby Project @fluttrbyproject]

@TJoyStahl @Butterfly101Fun Beautiful! 💛

Today at #FlutterbyHQ: A brand new red admiral and a lovely monarch❣️

[Flutterby Project @fluttrbyproject]

The Assiniboine Park Zoo (Winnipeg) released 13 captive-reared Poweshiek Skipperlings. 13? Not a big deal, right? Wrong! With fewer than 100 in Canada, they are critically endangered, so adding 13 to the wild population is huge! 👏 Kudos, @assiniboinezoo! https://t.co/SDRnOHz4fC

Some quality butterfly time at the habitat this evening. #butterfly #butterflyhabitat #pollinatorgarden #pollinators #eatontonga @Tuckertown @GrayFeist @jnp_mn @fluttrbyproject @MeadowInGarden @WingedBeautyCom

@MRamsdell1967 @Flickr Very pretty, but looks quite different from our black swallowtails. Is it possibly a dark form eastern tiger swallowtail?

[Flutterby Project @fluttrbyproject]

@publiclandlvr Thanks so much for the RT! 😊🦋
