A Painted Lady Butterfly lives in The Icon's backyard this month. Along with several other Ohio butterflies and moths, the attraction to Grove Street is several butterfly bushes.
Here are some recent views of the August residents. The Spinx moth is the little guy that resembles a bumble bee. He usually shows up in August and was first noticed this year on Aug. 12.
In addition, we've attracted three hummingbirds - two males who are very territorial - and one female, several goldfinch, and pair of mated cardinals and maybe a cat bird. It's rather immature at the moment. Time will tell what it develops into.
These photos lead to the question: "What's in your backyard this month?"
