Arizona State Butterfly - Two Tailed Swallowtail
We had butterflies coming to the new butterfly garden even before we could get the plants in the ground! Marceline was able to identify 18 species in just over an hour in the butterfly garden. I am still at the yellow, blue, or spotted butterfly id stage. Guess I had better buy a good butterfly guide asap! Here is what we have so far. Everyone is invited to come sit on one of the benches and relax amid the flowers and butterflies.
