This is a Pipevine Swallowtail. I love the colors of swallowtail butterflies. The details make it so special.

This is a female Magnolia Warbler. What a surprise. They are only in this area when they are migrating. I wish I had seen a male too. I am so grateful for the opportunity to see this beautiful bird. ❤️

Of all the sulphur butterflies, I think the Orange Sulphur is my favorite. They are so bright and really stand out. If you see a yellow butterfly in your yard, watch for the bright orange version. They are gorgeous.

The Halloween Pennant is a species of dragonfly. I do have a thing for dragonflies. This is a male.
I don't recall noticing the red spots on the wings. That little detail really makes this a special photo.

This is a Lemon Cuckoo Bumblebee. They are farily common here in Ohio.
I have to share a short story. We were hiking near the Stillwater River where I was filming for a video I made for Macstock. I had a backpack over my shoulder with my gear in it. I felt a need to scratch an itch. It was under the right side of my backpack. It felt like I had a thistle stuck to my shirt, so I pulled it away and tossed it into the bush. Well, it was a bumblebee, and it got me good. It was not as painful as the last time a yellowjacket got me in the wrist, but it did hurt.
The second photo includes a Goldenrod Soldier Beetle getting in a photo bomb.
