Butterflies on Maui

. Aloha .

. . . . wishing each of you a beautiful day . . I am going to out to work in my garden soon and I am happy most everyone is experiencing spring weather at last . . Here on Maui it is always Spring and that is a good thing . I do enjoy the increased amount of rain we have right now in Makahiki season . . I have been trying to get a photograph of the beautiful butterflies with a blossom on the Orchid trees . . it isn't easy and the tradewinds have been high lately so not such good weather for trying to shoot macros of flowers and insects . . hopefully I will have one soon . . interestingly enough although we do have a few moths we don't have many Pulelehua - Butterflies on Maui .
. only a few varieties . .

Gulf Fritillary Butterfly

Citrus Swallowtail - Swallowtail chrysalis
