The orchard spider that disappeared was close to where the Argiope spiders appeared. I wonder if they had anything to do with the other spider's dis appearance? A fiery skipper looked fine in the sunlight. A tiger swallowtail was only a blur on the camera. A very tiny skink had begun to regrow its lost tail. A less fortunate one was drowned in the skimmer. A few dragonflies hunted from perches but I didn't see any high fliers.
A sleepy orange butterfly nectared on the butterfly milkweed. A snout butterfly perched on a dead dogwood twig, imitating a dead leaf. A cabbage white visited the mountain mint. A very dark skipper did too. It was rusty brown in bright sunlight but black most of the time and in motion way too often. K hung a fresh hummer feeder and it took a few hours for the birds to get used to it.
