These are they beauties that frequent my garden. There are some that are hard to capture without a better camera set-up hence there is only one picture. Such as the Giant Swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes) Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) and some are just to common ie: Monarch (Danaus plexippus) to show here. You can see all the pictures in a larger format by clicking on them. I recommend opening them in a new tab.
