Observation notes: This litte guy has been enjoying the coneflowers for several days now. I finally was able to catch him. A Eastern Tiger Swallowtail stopped by to join him. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch them enjoying the coneflowers together. Not sure what this butterfly is. I thought one of the ladies, but the markings seem different.
