Butterfly Bush Buddies

First Monarch Butterfly of the Season

Dark Eastern Swallowtail Butterfly

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

All three of these large sized butterflies flit among our towering butterfly bush this afternoon. There were multiple swallowtails, but just one monarch. All of them cooperatively shared the tasty flowers. At times, it looked as though they were dancing an orchestrated dance among the branches. It was an extraordinarily beautiful sight to see them all together as they were.
