OhMyGoodness! Count 'em! 16 Great Spangled Frittilaries and ...

... one little friend, little Gray Hairstreak!

Click to enlarge.
Pretend you're looking at the book, "Where's Waldo!"
You'll find 16 Great Spangled Fritillaries.  Look carefully!

I took this next photo from the otherside of the Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa)
Yes, they were flitting around from here-to-there, but there are STILL 16 back here, too! :-)

What a Wonderful Day!

I had a hard time controlling my excitement, Darla!

Hi Sue! Don't miss the ones that are looking at you-(see the top left "three? There are actually four), On the right top, you'll see part of a wing, one on a flower clump and very slightly, you'll see one behind the flower clump, at the top right, there are two on the right-hand flower clump... one is looking at you. Did you see the one at the very bottom of the photo? ;0 Tricky!
lol

Sorry I could only count 14 but I'll take your word for it.

Doesn't it make you feel great when your garden is visited by such royalty? That plant must have been really delicious.
