A Carolina wren started the day. When I went out to swim a gray hairstreak and a snout butterfly were enjoying mountain mint, but only the snout was still there when I came back with the camera. Later, a black swallowtail looked for places to lay eggs. A dragonfly kept watch on one of the perches.
I spent most of the pixels on bees and wasps that I hoped to identify. There were way too many caterpillars on the parsley, so many they were eating the seeds. I relocated most of them to other plants. Then I noticed that the milkweed had at least four caterpillars. The plant's barely big enough to feed one.
Titmice took over the feeder, mostly fledglings from their behavior. I glimpsed the pine warbler. The humidity made the heat oppressive while K picked blueberries.
