We are fortunate to live in a rural area where there are lots of flowers to attract them!

Those are beautiful! We are watching swallowtails and a few monarchs at this time.

Monarchs! I envy you. I’ve only seen them once here in Alberta and a few times in Arizona. They are the king (or queen) of butterflies!

We usually keep a patch of milkweed around just for them!
