Today, butterfly weed fluttered and buzzed with flitting and zooming swallowtails, buckeyes, least skippers, American snouts, cabbage whites, hummingbird moths, summer wasps, bees, grasshoppers, gulf and variegated fritillaries. The very air swarmed.
In the midst of all this noonday activity, one little gray hairstreak stilled the frenzy atop a frilly bloom, plying his proboscis and sliding his wings, waving his tails, and then, like the butterfly, I stilled, too.
