Butterflies on the (Blooming) Joe-Pye Weed

 

 

 

The Joe-Pye Weed at the Robinson Nature Center is blooming and full of insects right now here in Maryland. The most noticeable insects are the butterflies: Easter Tiger Swallowtail and Spicebush Swallowtail.

There are so many of them it is quite easy to get some excellent photographs of the insects!
