Happy 4th of July!
What's prettier than a firecracker?
A butterfly.
This one made a pit stop at one of the wildflowers in our garden. Butterflies, hummingbirds and honeybees have all stopped by our little patch of garden and we couldn't be happier.
There is also a baby bunny rabbit somewhere in the garden. Our plot neighbors are horrified but we think he's cute. I haven't been able to get a picture of him.
Yet.
In case you are wondering, and I know you are, this butterfly is a Black Swallowtail and is found primarily in "open fields and woodland meadows." * That fits the environment surrounding our plot to a T.
*This is according to the A Golden Guide: Butterflies and Moths book that Adam handed to me when I asked, "I wonder what he's called?

This is an awesome picture, Erin!! I never realized how f-in freaky butterflies look - it kinda looks like a really fancy, goth housefly. I love the blog - Go Bell Peppers!!
Thank you Tim! Next time I'll try to get a picture of a punk grasshopper. Or a preppy caterpillar.
