“May and June. Soft syllables, gentle names for the two best months in the garden year: cool, misty mornings gently burned away with a warming spring sun, followed by breezy afternoons and chilly nights. The discussion of philosophy is over; it’s time for work to begin.” ~ H. Peter Loewer

You know how a few weeks ago I posted a picture of a swallowtail, but it sucked because it was super blurry and far away? Well, feast your eyes on the Swallowtail post 2.0!!

This lovely fellow is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, so named due to the iconic black-on-orange patterned wings worn by female members of the species.

I live very close to the Chicago botanical garden and the Green Bay Trail, which are safe havens for insects of all shapes and sizes.

I like to think my flower garden is contributing towards the well-being of our lovely pollinators, if only by a little bit.

I grow milkweed in my backyard, and I like to put the caterpillars I find there in an enclosure so they can pupate safely. I might try raising swallowtails as well, though I doubt you can just buy their eggs online. Where might one such as I acquire eggs? Let me know.

Because @onenicebugperday is not currently accepting submissions, I am posting this here:

A Nessus Sphinx Moth (aka “Hummingbird Moth”) at the Chicago Botanical Gardens. At least I’m pretty sure it’s a Nessus Sphinx.

It almost seemed unfair that this charming little bigleaf begonia was blooming quietly, surrounded by flashy, brilliantly colored, extravagantly curved orchids, but it did not go unseen.
