Field Notes

Description:

Orange and Black butterfly that is migrating through my garden these days. It is feeding on the Cleredendron.

Habitat:

I don't think of having them the year around, but there are periods both in Spring and Fall that they drop in for visits and for a rest on their journey.

Notes:

I am also becoming a Hummingbird stop. I had one for two days in the garden last week.
