Butterflies April 29 to June 3

As a result of letting my side yard "go native" with lots of wildflowers, I've seen a lot more butterflies and bees. Plus, the birds have a lot more to eat.

Here's a gallery of the Butterflies I've seen from April 29th to June 3.

April 29--Pipevine Swallowtail (female)


Red Admiral--Likes Apple!




Hackberry Emperor (Two Variants)



Common Buckeye


Injured Black Swallowtail Female


Texan Crescent


Gray Hairstreak




Little Yellow (female)



(male)


Pearl Crescent


Question Mark Folded

This butterfly is looks like a dull gray/brown leaf when folded. Is a bueatiful orange and black when open. Just hard to photograph that way.

Also so a lot of Giant Swallowtails, but haven't been able to get a snap yet.
