The Favorite Nectar (i)
Not selected for Google Earth after a second review [?] - ID: 11975135
The Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) butterfly visits the Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa L.) in early July. The proboscis (butterfly's tongue) is tailored for sucking fluid nutrients like nectar, a sugar-rich liquid found in flowers of plants.
It is so easy to spend hours on a butterfly hunt, but what better pass time can there be? ... I got a bit of sunburn standing there lost in the task having too much fun and forgot time passing!
