Pardon my over-posting today, but I just wanted to share this beautiful visitor at home on this last day (somewhere already) of summer.

City wildlife.

Raised from our garden (they like the golden Alexander), we still have a few more and loads of monarch caterpillars.

And I finished the painting! (probably)
It looks so much better with the bug part of the butterfly, and the flowers turned a dark purple/blue.

It's been Monarch Mania around here lately! The most activity I have ever seen in the yard. Of course they're flocking to the meadow blazing stars (Liatris ligulistylis). #butterfly #butterflies #Lepidoptera #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #macro #photography #SaveTheMonarch

After two months on Mastodon, it's about time to present my header photo in a larger form. It's a shot of a painted lady taken in 2019. #butterfly #insects #flower
Disclaimer: No, I'm not a regular patient nature photographer, I'm rather relying on chance.

They are free! Hopefully a long & successful journey lies ahead. #butterfly #science #nature /2

And more butterflies (taken with the big camera, but unfortunately I only had the birding lens, so not great for macro).

We visited the butterfly house in Kuranda before having to head back to the cable car.
Good, large walk-in enclosure easily traversed in the time we had. #FNQ #Kuranda #butterfly #farfalle
