This video is a little more steady than the first, has a better view of the flower garden, and the butterflies are called Cabbage White butterflies. These appear to be mates as their sex is determined by the dots on their wings. The female has two black dots and the male has one dot. These two tiny Cabbage White white butterflies have been visiting the back yard for weeks . I found the companionship of these two tiny little creatures interesting. They always visit the flower garden together, and usually leave together. Sometimes they seem to play chasing each other around the yard. They were both in the front yard last week, and one went across the street in one direction and the other in the opposite. I thought that would be the end of their companionship, but they found each other and were back the next day. They are the only two butterfly visitors I have had so far this summer. I found their companionship and their ability to survive and enjoy each others company for so long admirable, and especially for such tiny fragile creatures in such a dangerous world. I hope they can enjoy the rest of the summer. The large red flowers are hibiscus, they are 9 inches across, they are hardy, and return every year. The flower garden is 90% perennials that return every spring.
