This is Wayne's 2nd year with a butterfly garden, and it is amazing the number of interesting and beautiful butterflies that come to visit. He keeps adding new attractor plants and feeder plants for the caterpillars, and every day seems to see a different butterfly. Many are very colorful, some are not....and, not all are attracted to flowers. Some like to feed on organic decay and visit the compost pile...trying to get decent shots of those with a more pleasing background is not always easy.
He will be posting new butterflies and a description of each in the upcoming days.

| This is the "Question Mark" butterfly. |
The Question Mark butterfly gets its name from the white (silver) question mark in the center of the hind wing underside. Question Marks feed on animal droppings, rotting fruit and at sap flows, and are apt to visit your garden if you place some fruit in a strategic location.
