The yellow-and-black ones that resemble monarchs in Newfoundland are, I believe, tiger swallowtails. <br /><br />Cate in DundeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-82646849843559184832010-08-16T14:28:14.462-02:302010-08-16T14:28:14.462-02:30What a wonderful living collection !What a wonderful living collection !oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418102249283872865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-73019205626790323712010-08-16T08:06:35.502-02:302010-08-16T08:06:35.502-02:30Jeanette - having a phobia myself I am very sympat...Jeanette - having a phobia myself I am very sympathetic to anyone who has a problem with a particular creature. I think you were enormously brave to go to the butterfly sanctuary all those years ago.<br /><br />On the other hand, I love your butterfly photos and envy you their visit to the daises. Thank you for getting up close to 'capture' them for us. :)Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-71423921268542968672010-08-16T07:30:56.990-02:302010-08-16T07:30:56.990-02:30I'm the bug certified bug catcher in this fami...I'm the bug certified bug catcher in this family, as long as its not a maggot I have to get rid of it lol everyone else hates them<br /><br />haven't really seen a lot of butterflies this year or the last.

I'm sure you're right and now I think about it, we don't usually see Monarchs until later in the season here.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-29498556407478525322010-08-16T01:34:45.769-02:302010-08-16T01:34:45.769-02:30Nice photos.:) I believe those are Red Admiral but...Nice photos.:) I believe those are Red Admiral butterflies on your flowers. We've had quite a few in our area this summer. Must have been a good year for them. Monarchs have been few and far between. I've only seen two all summer.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.com
