Sipping gardens nectar! this one went to at least 4 different patches of Echinacea but always landed on the same ones as they came back, from time to time the Butterfly bush was second favor.
Have a nice weekend everyone!

If you drive south through the United States, through Florida, through the Florida Keys, to the end of the road at mile/marker zero... you end up at this house! Then, 90-miles of open-ocean,

[Many weekends there are weddings at this Victorian-style mansion]
[Ocean-view Tower-room is often reserved for the bride and groom]
History: It was built in 1896 for a cost of $250,000 as a private
residence for Judge Vining Harris. It was converted years later
into a Cuban nightclub called Café Cayo Hueso in 1939. It was
converted back into a residence in 1954 and remained so until
1996, when it underwent a $3 million renovation and was then
converted into an 18-room hotel. Quite an amazing hotel to visit!

These butterflies are puddling. The term puddling refers to the process in which butterflies 'sip' from puddles of water on the ground. Many species of butterflies gather on the ground to take in water and nutrients. At the muddy or sandy puddle the butterfly sips water rich in mineral salts and other essential nutrients that have leached from the surrounding soil and rocks. Male butterflies do more puddling than females.
