We've also had quite a few Cabbage Whites visit our plants. They move so fast I haven't been able to get a picture of them, either.

Other Butterflies
We've had other butterflies besides the Monarchs visit our yard recently. One day I startled our landscaper by shouting when I saw a Gulf Fritillary in the back yard. It flew off into the canyon before I could get my camera.

Then one day we saw a Mourning Cloak in the back yard. This is a gorgeous butterfly, with its cream colored edging and row of blue or purple dots around the deep chocolate wings. I wish we had been able to see more of this beautiful butterfly before it took off, but we were glad that we got a chance to see it when we did.
