More Garden Fauna

Our 2 legged tadpoles quickly became 4 legged tadpoles - and it turns out they are much easier to catch that way! I guess as swimming become less effective, they will hop out and away.
They did take a lot longer to change than the butterflies, I think part of it depends on the weather and since we are so tropical, maybe it goes faster here than in other places. These took about 5 weeks.

I also got some good pictures of this Long Tailed Skipper visiting Caleb's zinnias. It was not scared of us at all, or at least was so interested in the flowers, we didn't make it nervous.

This is actually my favorite picture of it!
