It's almost the end of June. Let's wind things up with . . .
Today's Question(s):
Do you see many butterflies or bees around where you live? I saw so many cocoons in Delaware with a bunch of caterpillars the first week I was there (last week of April) that I was shocked. Then the third week I was there there was a lot of Eastern Black Swallowtails and a few Monarchs but when I came home to Tennessee, nothing in the usual places. Just last Sunday I went out looking for them with my camera but didn't see a single one. I did see plenty of bees, though. Most popular around where I live are Eastern Tiger Swallowtails which are mostly yellow and Pipevine Swallowtails which are mostly blue and black. Last year was a bad year to see butterflies in my town.
