Last Friday afternoon, hubby and I went to the Living Desert Reserve and stopped by the butterfly pavilion. It was empty except for the butterflies and hummingbirds. (Of course, it WAS 104 degrees that day~) But, I was able to get close to one of the butterfly feeders and see this little guy! I didn't have my tripod or I would have zoomed in even closer, but it was interesting to watch the butterfly's long tongue go into the sponge and soak up the nectar! The Living Desert is having their Earth Day celebration this weekend, so it will be crowded, but I'll return another day for another look at the butterflies! Nature Notes for April 7, 2011.
