Where are all our butterflies?

I was so excited when my son called and said "Mom, come on over. We have a butterfly and a hummingbird on our butterfly bush". When I got there the hummingbird was gone but I was delighted to get a few pictures of the butterfly.

Oh, wow! A great capture, Essie Sue! Fav! (Thanks to your son for calling you over, too!) Sadly, I think butterflies are having a hard time with climate change- at least this year their numbers are fewer for sure!
