Don't worry about the sassafras....they don't allow the cancer-causing ingredient in sassafras to be sold now, and I suspect it wasn't ever an ingredient in root beer, just a "taste-alike." But I could be wrong. At any rate, they remove the harmful ingredient in anything sold now. As much sassafras as the early settlers and Indians drank though, I wonder if it really was ever all that harmful....<br />MarieA Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69740065568831718.post-7239781140953833722009-07-18T15:38:03.476-07:002009-07-18T15:38:03.476-07:00The butterfly in question is a Little Wood Satyr B...The butterfly in question is a Little Wood Satyr ButterflyAndyhttp://andyslens.com/index/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69740065568831718.post-8709294388573592282009-07-17T13:08:28.093-07:002009-07-17T13:08:28.093-07:00Hi Tina

Butterflies are so beautiful, lovely photos :) I really really like the Eastern Tailed-blue, I see them here all the time, I didn't know that's what they're called. I don't know any of the butterfly names actually, except the monarch. I don't know much about butterflies to tell you the truth.<br />Thanks for sharing :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395084230673130207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69740065568831718.post-11611811109542584902009-07-15T05:33:33.451-07:002009-07-15T05:33:33.451-07:00Awww, that last one was a great ending!Awww, that last one was a great ending!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874927684791572480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69740065568831718.post-9741608428526323832009-07-15T04:46:18.065-07:002009-07-15T04:46:18.065-07:00Thanks everyone for your help and your guesses.

The park looks like a very nice spot.<br /><br />The one you couldn't identify is called a purple moth...mothus purplus. It is closely related to the bright yellow moth that so expertly camoflauged itself on our green front door. Also, tell that cabbage butterly it's on the wrong plant. I think it's really a thistle moth. :-)<br /><br />Sorry to have been absent for so long...I LOVE your towhee picture up in the banner!Dave's Bird Watching Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000579764528227895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69740065568831718.post-73152745572891599012009-07-14T08:29:57.148-07:002009-07-14T08:29:57.148-07:00The butterfly looks like a Buckeye in the shade wh...The butterfly looks like a Buckeye in the shade which would give it that cool shady color instead of the warmer reddish brownish with yellow outlined spots.
