Just a few of the many butterflies in my garden this summer. The rare female Diana Fritillary (last photo, bottom right) showed up earlier than usual this year, I started seeing her around the end of August. The orange and brown male Diana Fritillary was here by early August. Click to enlarge.

Just amazing! I was at a coastal park this past weekend and saw clouds of them swarming a butterfly garden of asters, goldenrod and buddleia. Crazy!
Hi Jim,
Oh, I bet that was a beautiful sight! It’s been a good year for the butterflies here as well.
