Beth's Patch ~ Butterflies
This year November hasn't been kind to the butterflies with early cold spells and rainy, gray weather. The cold has killed off almost all nectar except the snapdragons. Several days this November I have had 10 species of butterflies in the year though the mix has changed for a total number of 13 species seen. Add to that the 2 species of chrysalis that are overwintering and there have been a total of 15 species for this month. My biggest surprise was seeing the Sleepy Orange butterfly numerous times this fall including today and twice last week.
