Going down!

I was out in my garden doing some watering when this bright yellow butterfly went fluttering by. She was very interested in the daylilies!

I decided to pull out my phone and observe.

She decides to land on a daylily:

Full of pollen, decides to get a closer look…

Deep dive!

Pretty sure this is a female Eastern tiger Swallowtail because of the touch of blue showing on those folded hindwings.

It was too hot for me to keep standing there watching her. :smile: She was still burrowed in there when I left!

I love watching butterflies and think they’re magickal. When I looked at the pictures I thought I’d share with the Coven. :grinning_face: I hope they give you a smile! :heart: :feather:

@Feathertip just so beautiful! I love butterflies :butterfly: too! Just so beautiful! I saw a yellow one a few weeks ago. It was a tiny one. I had never seen an all yellow one before. It was as yellow as the sun just fluttering by as Zeus and I were on our walk. I am lucky that I see a lot of butterflies! I know that it’s usually my grandmother because most of them are the small white ones :purple_heart::sparkles::two_hearts::collision::heart_eyes::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
