Butterflies Today

My view today was a walk through the Hagerman garden at the wildlife refuge just outside Pottsboro, TX. 

 

Praying Mantis

I realize that everyone isn’t a fan of these odd-looking insects. However, I appreciate that they don’t bite or sting and they eat lots and lots of moths, mosquitoes, roaches, flies and aphids.

Blue Mornings

The best morning glories are blue! 

Big and Blue

 

Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

Oklahoma's graceful state bird. 

 

Waxwings

I call these "little bandits". LOL

Swallowtail

This lovely creature visited the garden today. 

Wrens

Saw a wren on the patio this morning. So cute!
