Wet day

The very hungry monarch kept feeding despite the rain which, fortunately, was gentle.  The butterfly seemed territorial, at least, it flew after K and later a crow when they came too close.  Meanwhile, at least four caterpillars were chomping up the butterfly milkweed.  I saw a black swallowtail too.  I too ignored the rain and went swimming.  That was fortunate for a mama spider, a green tiger beetle, and a couple of wasps. 

A Carolina wren was hungry too and visited the seed feeder.  A brown headed nuthatch got the munchies later on.  Hummers ignored the rain to consume sugar water.
