Well, not exactly milk, but it is a milkweed. This is a female Sachem Skipper Butterfly. I'm sure she needed a drink. It was extremely hot and humid today!
Thank you for your views and comments!!! I really appreciate the wonderful responses to my I'm new here pic! :0)
Is that her tongue? My goodness, it's long! I love how many different butterflies are stopping on the milkweed.
When I was in junior high my science teacher told us never touch a butterfly because you'll brush off their scales which might keep them from flying. Look, but don't touch.
I like your lighting and colors. Particularly like seeing the different stages of the flower and leaf. Great butterfly. I think you should be published.
