We have lots of them. We have the Fritillary's, and we have another that likes the flowers called a zebra helicolinian.

No I have not seen them as of yet. Beautiful butterfly though. Also I was incorrect in my earlier assessment as I do not have the blue passion flower Passiflora caerulea on my property in Alabama. The blue passion flower is native to South America (Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil). Although similar to the blue passion flower I have the purple passion flower Passiflora incarnata L. which is native to Alabama and the following states in the USA (AL, AR, DC, DE, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MO, MS, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, WV). Here are some images of the purple passion flower and it's egg like fruit.

Have not seen the Zebra either a I am out of their range. will keep my eye out for the Fritillarys though.

He looks real happy and ready to play. :laughing::laughing: Our only Marsupial, they are second only to squirrels here in road kill. They love my dogs food, if she leaves some in her bowl, before she comes in for the night the bowl is empty by the next morning. I hear they make good pets if you get them very young before they learn from Momma.

caught this devil once.

Just accidentally glimpsed some movement, then flicked him over onto the driveway. Hollered for my daughter to take a pic.

Then I released him in by least-favorite neighbor's yard.





nah, let him go in a vacant lot a coupla miles away.

Daisey's beautiful! What kind of dog is that....loks like there is some whippet there.

She's an Italian greyhound. Pretty much identical to a whippet, but smaller. She's 6.75 pounds, which is small by IG standards. They average about 11-12 pounds.

Well yesterday I was mowing a lawn and then I saw an animal trap in the backyard. And there was a rabbit in it! I figured (and hoped) that was not the animal they were trying to trap, so I emailed the homeowner, who was on vacation. But in the meantime I picked some lettuce from our garden, got it wet (since I couldn't give it any water), and put it in the trap it was in. Who knows how long the rabbit was in there?!? I felt so bad! This morning the homeowner emailed back, saying they were trying to catch a groundhog, and that I could let the rabbit go if I wanted. So that's what I did at 6:30 this morning! It had eaten all the lettuce I gave it! Once I figured out how to open the trap, I let it out, and it ran SO fast! I saved a rabbit today! :tongue:

Good for you!
That's pretty dam careless to leave a trap set when you are on Vacation. I hope you did not reset it.
I have rabbits running around my place, never thought you could trap them. They don't seem to bother anything.
I have seen them run through the yard so fast....it's like they are flying.

I left it with the door off. They can trap their groundhogs another time! Those rabbits can run so fast!

Post some more pictures of her. She has a very classic look. Very photogenic.
