This is a nice close up video of a Monarch butterfly laying eggs in our butterfly garden on milkweed.  The Monarchs really let you get up close to them without getting scared.  Right now we have them everywhere.  It is really cool to watch up close.  Right now we also have a lot of Queen, Giant Swallowtail butterflies also.

This video was shot today in our South Florida butterfly garden. It is a Giant Swallowtail butterfly laying eggs on a Wild Lime Tree / Bush. We planted this Wild Lime last year. This is the first season that we have started to see the Giant SwallowTails show up in our garden. This female appears to be laying eggs so I assume we will be seeing more.

We just took this video of what we think is an Orange Sulfur butterfly in our butterfly garden located in South Florida, specifically Lake Worth.

We are not 100% sure if this is an orange sulfur.  If anyone recognizes this species, please post a comment. Thanks!

Video of a black swallowtail butterfly caterpillar poking orange antenna out when touched.  Something else that is interesting is that a large wasp just landed near and stung one of these larger caterpillars and the caterpillar was unaffected by the stings.  We have seen wasps attack other types of caterpillars like monarchs and gulf fritillary caterpillars and they instantly turn to mush and are killed.  I guess the black swallowtails are immune to wasp stings.  Has anyone else seen this?

We took the following video of an Orange Barred Sulfur caterpillar in our butterfly today. Man are they getting big!
