@Elora: Yes, many... they seem to be lingering this year... sulphurs, skippers, fritillary, etc... but it has been very cool and unless the sun warms things up they stay hidden. Soon it will freeze and they will be gone until next year.

Good evening, Earnest,
the flower is a beautiful contrast to the brilliant color of the butterfly. They inspire me every day, with your pictures. Dear greetings Christel
