Beautiful morning, sunny and about 70 I saw one about 10 am then they just kept coming! Lots of flowers on my deck including butterfly bushes in pots and hanging pots. One pot had about 5 at one time. They were beautiful. I took several videos. Never saw them in October before is so late.

My deck faces south and is loaded with butterfly bushes in pots, all kinds of flowers for hummingbirds and butterflies. Jasmine, gardenias, roses, lantana, petunias, shrimp plants they love and more. I plant dill every year and have black swallowtails lay eggs and their caterpillars eat all the dill. I then have gorgeous Black Swallowtails. They are beautiful as well. The caterpillars look similar to the Monarch and first year thought they were! Was a beautiful day and have a lot of pics and videos. Hummers stopped coming last Saturday.
