We saw an American Lady butterfly at the Wehr Nature Center on Saturday.

We have not yet seen one in our own garden this year.

Swarms of red admiral butterflies in the garden today.

Of the host plants listed at the above link, the only one we have is hops.

Wildlife in the Garden

The past several days there have been deer and ducks in the garden.

Wood ducks and mallards.

One of the neighbors saw a fox a couple days ago.

Red Admiral

We saw several Red Admiral butterflies at Boerner Botanical Gardens yesterday, and also saw one in our own garden.
