Queen Butterflies and More
This past Tuesday when I was volunteering at the butterfly house there were at least 6 queen butterflies enjoying gliding around and sipping the flowers.

I have been wondering about Queen butterflies versus Monarchs. Thanks for that explanation @violetmed I'm jealous that all your photos of flowers have butterflies on them haha
Only because I was in the butterfly house! In my backyard, I chase butterflies around and most of the time they don't stay still long enough to focus and get a good capture!
howdy this beautiful Saturday @violetmed! that sound like a rough gig you got there at the Butterfly house surrounded with all that beauty! the photos are stunning and I'm always amazed at the awesome designs, I really like the Giant Swallowtail.
Well the butterfly house is nice when the temp is below 90 and the humidity not too high, so this past Tuesday was great! I have volunteered there when it is 95 and very humid and it's great for the butterflies and flowers, but not the humans! Haha, but I do enjoy educating the adults and children walking through the house.
oh this is so interesting @violetmed..so you have a steady stream of visitors through the gardens? and that butterfly house has to feel like a sweat hut or something when it's 95 and humid out!
but God bless you for volunteering up there.
Thankfully, there is a shady end to the butterfly house and I go cool off there and drink some water! Luckily it's a volunteer position, so if I get to hot I can leave anytime I want! :)
howdy this fine Sunday evening @violetmed! oh that sounds like a nice settup but I bet you're used to the heat and have never left early!

Wonderful photographs @violetmed. Are queen butterflies a type of butterfly or are they similar to a queen bee?
No, I'm not sure how it got it's name. The Queen butterfly is similar looking to a Monarch butterfly, but the Queen has smaller wings and a different pattern when they open their wings. Nevertheless, people do have a hard time telling the two butterflies apart. I used to until I started studying and learning to identify butterflies!
Hello dear @violetmed wonderful photography dear your all photos are out standing I love them 😍 I have followed you and thank you so much for upvote me 😊 stay connected dear
@violetmed amazing photo with spectacular colors of our concentidas, our beautiful butterflies, posing for us on the flowers in a spectacular way, I fall in love with such clear and beautiful photos, great work friend, thanks, magnificent our beautiful butterflies....
I particularly like the first photo of the butterflies on top of the small flowers of that Lantana @violetmed. I've been reading about queen butterflies thanks to your post :D
Yes, thank you, I love the way the first photo turned out!
Great photos. Haven't even imagined that the Iphone 8 plus can take such great pictures. I use very often snapseed to edit some of my photos. It's a great app and I recommend it all the time. Plus it's very easy to use. Have a great weekend!
Thank you and I'll look into snapseed!
Stunning photos @violetmed What a fabulous volunteer job you have. I think I'd really enjoy working closely with butterflies.
Love that first shot. So clear in focus and vivid colors. If I were a butterfly, Id "do" those flowers... Oops! Did I say that???
Very lovely captured.. all the above shots are so perfect....
