Trust fall!

In September, the ruby-throated hummingbirds were posing for photos while waiting at the feeders. They eat as much as possible before their migration to central America

The bees were hanging under some flowers this morning. Almost done with pollinator season, but I'm still seeing a few every day.

You keep me hanging on.

A beautiful visitor to my garden in summer. Hopefully I will see more swallow tail tiger butterflies next yr!

As winter nears there are fewer insects to observe. A warm say this week meant a sluggish tufted globetail let me take some photos. They serve double duty, pollinating and eating aphids!

When we moved here, there was next to no #garden, and we've mostly planted natives (or cultivars thereof), which seems to be attracting some beautiful #butterflies, like this yellow admiral (Vanessa itea). #Tasmania #insect #pollinator #entomology #nature #Australia

A male yellow admiral (Vanessa itea) alighting on a riceflower cultivar, planted by my husband in our garden, which also includes Tasmanian endemics and natives such as mintbushes, pepperberries, creeping strawberry pine, and South Esk pine.

These bumblebees spent the night sleeping on one of my last coreopsis flowers. They're very sluggish this morning, I don't think they'll be flying around much longer.
