I imagine the butterflies are having to look harder for nectar.
Delightful
Smart butterfly ~ great haiku ~ Happy Week to you ~ xoxo
Amazing butterfy!
Being in a drought here (visiting) I was surprised to actually see three yellow swallowtails. Also some little moths,
but that was near water sources.
Adaptation. Animals and insects seem to fair well, most of the time.
Thanks for stopping by.
What a brave butterfly!
Yes butterflies do that sometimes
But not very often. Mostly they flit here and there!
