I noticed this group sitting on a concrete footer. They were all flapping their wings and eating, I guess. What, I have no idea. I just found this interesting since I’ve never seen that many together at once. Maybe some of you know what type of butterflies these are, and what they could be doing??
AND NOW FOR THE ART RELATED ITEM:
Go to the NWS website and check out the front page – top left. That’s a painting by my good friend and one of the annual painting retreat ladies, Cora Mae Pipkin.
She’s probably going to be mad at me for putting up this info but I’ll chance it - I’m so happy for her and proud of her.
Way to go lady!

They look like swallowtail butterflies but I have no idea what they are doing.
What cool photos, Deb. They look like Zebras(striped ones) and maybe black phase Spicebush's. And, I've read that they like the salt(or alkline something) in concrete. Another possibility is that they're sunning on the warm concrete, but I'll bet it's the feeding they found.
Maybe some of the Butterflies of Brazil from the Krohn Conservatory show got out and decided to visit? ha ha
Wild about the butterflies! Great shot of them. I think it's great that you posted about your friends painting too!
