Lois and Ian Cox-Leigh write,
"Date seen: Friday, July 21 2006 [12:30 pm]
Location: backyard garden, east downtown Toronto on Buddleia ssp.
Others in garden at time included 2 question marks, an eastern comma, three monarchs and a cabbage white.

"Thanks for maintaining the site!"

Beautiful Buddleia flowers! They are an excellent nectar source for many butterflies and Sphingidae. I suspect Lois and Ian will also see some of the Hemaris species in their garden.
