Gulf Fritillary #butterfly on milkweed in our front #garden.

I’ve not seen any #monarch #butterflies so far this spring but they’ve obviously been here. Spotted these two monarch #caterpillars yesterday on the one milkweed in my front #garden, a survivor that has regrown after dying back to the soil following our big winter freeze. Hope these make it to adulthood, the ones I saw last year disappeared before pupating.

A Common Buckeye!!!
<<seriously excited shrieking>>
This butterfly has been on my wish list for years! I mean YEARS!!! I've never even SEEN one before!
(*they're supposed to be common - it's literally in the name - but they've felt like the white whale of butterflies for me lol.)
It was gone so fast. One quick stop & then it zoomed away. I was only able to get a few mediocre shots, but OMG! A Common Buckeye! FINALLY!!!
My heart is still pounding! 😂

Lovely Variegated fritillary yesterday afternoon.
First one this year!
(Side note: one of the best parts of spring is the arrival of each butterfly. I have a mental list of ~30 species or so that have visited my garden in the past. As each one arrives it's such a happy feeling - like "Ah, yes! There you are!")
