Oh dear... This monarch caterpillar thinks s/he’s outsmarted the parasitic wasps by pupating on a Rue plant. Clearly s/he doesn’t know that Rue is a host for black swallowtail caterpillars 🤦♀️

The hummingbird moths seem to favor the verbena bonariensis blooms in the garden ..... such a delight to watch although wasn’t expecting the bump at the end of this video😬🙈🌸

A couple strong and healthy @FlutterbyHQ alumni on a Kent Beauty Oregano. What a stunning colour contrast!

The #Monarch Migration is alive and well at the 50th parallel this season! Scores have been spotted at #FlutterbyHQ. Check this out — three on this one swamp #milkweed flower head alone 🤯 #ShareYourMonarchs

Yikes! 😱 This lucky monarch egg came dangerously close to being part of a bush bunny’s breakfast.

Have you ever seen a hatching #monarch egg up close? So much cuteness! 😊 Check out the video: https://t.co/ParrEvFadL

The Assiniboine Park Zoo (Winnipeg) released 13 captive-reared Poweshiek Skipperlings. 13? Not a big deal, right? Wrong! With fewer than 100 in Canada, they are critically endangered, so adding 13 to the wild population is huge! 👏 Kudos, @assiniboinezoo! https://t.co/SDRnOHz4fC

Join volunteers in the U.S., Canada & Mexico July 27 to Aug. 4 for the 2019 International Monarch Monitoring #Blitz. Your info will help experts better understand the butterfly’s distribution in North America. https://t.co/Vy7N1IenI3 Jim Hudgins/USFWS #MonarchBlitz

Ever see a #Monarch pupa in-the-making? The #butterfly features are immediately visible during the #caterpillar’s final moult. 😯

The Meadow Brown is gorgeous, but is it #ourmostbeautifulbutterfly ? It really is impossible to choose.

This is happening in our yard almost all day, every day after a few years of effort planting host plants and providing a seamless sequence of blooms. I've also tried to include as many different flower shapes/sizes as possible to accommodate different insects.

We learned that someone nearby is having a driveway poured, so we let them know that the plants growing along the side are pellitory — a common host for #RedAdmiral #caterpillars — so they let us relocate 20+ 🐛s to #FlutterbyHQ, where we (begrudgingly) let some pellitory grow.
