6 pictures in notes above and 2 text note! :D

Today I was thinking about milkweed flowers and what some of you said: that I might be able to find monarch butterfly eggs on the leaves. Well, I went to see but I didn't find any that look like monarch eggs, but I did find some other eggs! (See my third upload!) While I was looking at the flowers, I found this gorgeous skipper on a stem and also a beautiful wasp visiting the blossoms! Enjoy!

Well taken macros, Janet. Now you have me wondering - I don't think we have skippers, only moths and butterflies. Seen in www.ipernity.com/group/prime-lenses.

The head of the grass gives a very good sense of the scale - a tiny, delicate creature.
