In addition to butterflies, several hummingbirds were out and about. Popular nectar sources were Hollow Joe-Pye, Starry and Sticky Rosinweed, Summer Phlox, and Butterfly Milkweed, though the latter two were primarily just occupied by Spicebush Swallowtails. Here is my full list! - Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - 7 - Spicebush Swallowtail - 4 - Pipevine Swallowtail - 1 - Gray Hairstreak - 1 - Eastern Tailed-Blue - 1 - Monarch <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/386888693> - 3 - most I've seen this year - Red-spotted Purple - 1 - *Wild Indigo Duskywing <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/386901018> *- 2 - Interestingly, one individual <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/386901103> seemed to be trying to oviposit on Red Columbine, though I did not find any eggs - Horace's Duskywing - 6 - Silver-spotted Skipper - *47* - Fiery Skipper - 11 Good butterflying, Ryan Chaffee Cary, NC --0000000000003a1c2f0657edff71 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>Hi again butterfliers,</div><div><br></div><div>This = morning, I stopped by the NC Botanical Garden to take advantage of recent r= ains and was not disappointed!
