Our yard, 9/22/13

I've been working on a butterfly garden in our yard after the drought killed all the grass.  I've got quite a bit done but the recent wet weather has slowed things down.  However I am starting to pick up a few butterflies.  They just happen to be all the common tiny stuff so far.  And here's the smallest, a Western Pygmy-Blue on my Scorpion's Tail.

A couple more on the Scorpion's Tail were these two common hairstreaks, Gray Hairstreak.

And Mallow-scrub Hairstreak.  I like the little bee cruising by.

Here's a bright Southern Broken-Dash.

Every one likes the Zexmenia which is now considered a Wedelia including this Little Yellow.

And this Elada Checkerspot.

And this Vesta Crescent.

The bigger butterflies just fly on by.
