The zebra longwings are starting to show up. In June, July and August there should be 100's of these guys in the yard. They host on Corky stem vine and passion vine. I have lots of both in the yard.

Seen in Victoria Park, located in the town of Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This was as close as I wanted to get without protection. Honey Bees busy making honey

found in Gran Canarias if anyone wants to take a stab at identification. This is where colour blindness is a complete nightmare for me as I can't differentiate between species.

A very obliging Libellula fulva. The water level of the small canal top up resevoir where I took this shot was very low. At least a Metre and a half if not more below its normal level. The lowest I ever seen it!

The color of this moth's head is what really caught my eye. It was tricky to capture this image...it didn't want to stay still very log. Taken at the Eastmanville Farm County Park.

A Painted Lady butterfly I believe, on the inside of a bar window...plenty of open doors so I expect s/he escaped soon after I took the shot.
