Spotted sipping water at garden mud/water puddle. Very windy day, sunny, temps upper 70s
He looked fresh, not ragged - LARGE - was sipping water from a mud puddle in my garden
My garden is just getting started, I just planted milkweed seeds but I do have verbena with a few blooms (small) , and have seed starts of cosmos, lantana, coneflowers, zinnia's and sunflowers- lots of sassafras tree's grow on our property as well - a great attractant for swallowtails!
I'm a cut flower farmer, so lots of options for butterflies, hummingbirds and bee's (I'm a bee keeper too) - looking forward to more sightings - I'm in a community of ranchers - mostly all pasture grass - not many flowers - so my gardens get lots of attention throughout the year.
