Actually I don't think puddles are all that wonderful these days, as in, if I don't see another one this fall it will be soon enough. But aren't these puddling butterflies wonderful? I love their pink legs and little green tennis ball eyes.

Beautiful! In a make lemonade kind of way.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a bunch of butterflies! And yeah, I share your attitude about puddles. It isn't just butterflies that love all this rain, the mosquitoes are breeding like crazy, too.
ReplyDeleteSmile makers for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhy do they do that? Are they drinking or washing?
ReplyDeleteHere in Georgia, I see the Buckeye butterflies settling on wet ground. I have birdbaths all over the place, so they must prefer dirt. :)
ReplyDeletewhy do you hate the child with mottephobia? why?

Ooh my gosh!
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat!
Joated, it was fun to watch them while I was waiting for Alan
ReplyDeleteWW, aren't the skeeters awful?!?! They bite me even if I am bathed in off!
Dani, they are!
JB, according to what I looked up about it, it is mostly males which do it and they are gathering up minerals and such so as to be good at reproduction.
Susan Rose, minerals or so I read. Pretty anyhow
VIH, they are pretty and not moths
Cathy, an unexpected bonus of the day of the sorghum chopping pics
technically mottephobia is the fear of both moths and butterflies... just fyi
