Another beautiful male came to my backyard 4 days after the last one I spotted on the 7th of this month. It arrived around 4:45 pm and stayed for 15 minutes feeding mostly on butterfly bush flowers. Temp 76 degrees, sunny day. Most of the flowers are very high up on the butterfly bush, so it was hard to get a good photo. The butterfly would land briefly on the Cape Town Orange Tecomaria that is next to the butterfly bush, so this was my best photo. I compared the wing spots to the male butterfly photo I took on the 7th and this one is definitely a different one.
