Rayetta's Butterflies - Return of the Queen

No, I'm not referring to me. Rather a queen butterfly turned up at the CB today for the first time in weeks. All righty then. All the boys started whining because I was making Crumby use all their Dolmen for butterfly food. So I had to nip all that whining in the bud. And I thought, well my butterflies need some beer so maybe instead of making Crumby brush the beer on logs, where it would quickly evaporate, I could fix my butterflies up with a little beer receptacle. I thought and thought and while I was thinking away I chanced to come across an empty pail of Max Cat adult cat chow. Hmmm. The lid is bright orange, that should be attractive, and shallow, so my butterflies are unlikely to drown in it. If set upright on a flat surface it should suffice, nicely. So that's what I did, set all that up.

In two shakes of a lamb's tail this queen arrived for a delectable libation. How about that!

Now also I have been sashaying around in the Indiangrass. We have lots of Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) at the CB. Fritillaries seem to like the Indiangrass a lot. They seem to prefer to enjoy sexual intercourse in the Indiangrass. Here, these Gulf Fritillaries are, one on top of the other, back to back, in the Indiangrass.
