I think May is one of my favourite months. The weather is usually beautiful (not too hot, not too cold), the days get longer, and things really start to bloom in the garden.
A couple days later, I was walking back from Lens Mills (needed beads! More on that later) and I travel through a grassy hydro corridor. There's a well worn path, but I decided to avoid it and walk through some of the taller grass. And I'm glad I did.
Otherwise I never would have seen these two beauties
Have you seen any butterflies yet?

Only one so far. I saw a monarch butterfly on my walk the other day.
No butterflies here that I have seen but I have noticed the moths are back-and the bees. Lots of big bumbly ones.
We've had a few butterflies around here. And we've been watching the bird feeders in amazement!
You take the best butterfly pictures!
It surprises me every spring, but butterflies seem to be the first insect I see.
Although, I definitely don't categorize them with regular old insects like flies and mosquitos.
I've been seeing a lot of little orange and black butterflies, but I'm not sure what they are named.
Enjoy a lovely Spring week ahead,
Andrea
Beautiful! I love to identify the butterfly visitors in my yard!
My butterflies have not arrived yet and I've been waiting patiently. Soon I hope. We usually have lots of them throughout the summer months.
The cardinal moth has shown up here too. Im glad you identified it for me. One day its warm, the next its cold. But the leafs are almost all opened up!! Hooray! Headed out for a walk with Fireman. perhaps we'll see a flying insect or two. The Bats are back at night for snacks and the dragonflies are around on warmer days.
Right now, it's all hummingbirds, all the time around here! Butterflies to come, though, I'm sure.
We're having a cold and rainy start to May. I have seen a couple of butterflies but not sure what kind. Last year the "other milkweed" caterpillar decimated the butterfly weed that I planted for monarchs. Such is Mother Nature!
