Still rainy

After a long morning meeting, I showed J what lurked on the mountain mint.  She got photos of a monarch caterpillar, a gray hairstreak, and a southern purple mint moth.  A caterpillar was eating his umbrella.  In the pool I caught a frog but it got back in and by that time thunder was accompanying the shower so we left the pool to the frog.  The garden spiders had relocated closer to the window.  

The sun came back later but had to fight past clouds.  Mosquitoes were thick.  Wasps took advantage of the sun.  A tiger swallowtail shopped for child care among the wild cherry leaves.  Hummers approved of their nectar.
