Lantana Landings
Jul 4, 2015 21:51:38 #
Winged things have finally discovered my lantana. There will be seven photos in this set as I just couldn't bring myself to cull any more.
Please ID these if you can. I have some field guides in my shopping cart and am itching to "proceed to checkout". Any suggestions on books for ID'ing butterflies, dragonflies, insects of all sorts?
Thanks for looking!

Identify no! But WOW, yes!
Thanks for looking and for the very kind "WOW", Ari! Many flitters flitted around all day yesterday - I had so many photos - couldn't stop snapping.

Super shots, Sherry! I'm not going to try to pick a favorite. They're all beautiful. Looks like quite a lot of buzzing and fluttering is taking place in your yard.
