Butterflies etc.

 A Tiger Swallowtail rests for a second
 I was surprised to find this Viceroy.  They look and act like the Monarch and have been very absent this year. 
 I hope he doesn't teary too long before going back to eating insects 
 This called a Giant Swallowtail although it isn't much bigger than the Tiger above.  Not sure I've seen one before.  I had look it up.
Once again Grenville has to pose with a Deer friend.
