Butterfly Sightings

This beauty was sighted at the Desert Bontanical Garden at approximately 2 pm. TJ, Heather, Ruby, and I went on our own Spring Break field trip, the main attraction being the seasonal Butterfly Pavilion at the Garden.
We loved our informal, but informational trip. TJ, true to his interest in all things, stands near an informational sign with many great facts. For instance, there are 326 different species of butterflies in Arizona. Also, true to form, TJ already knew most of these facts. So smart!
We brought this little "butterfly" with us. Almost everyone we passed commented, "Are you a butterfly?" Ruby always retorted, "I'm not a butterfly. I'm just wearing wings!"
Heather is sitting "oh, so still" in hopes of a butterfly landing right on her very person. It was not to be.
Ruby must have worn the right outfit because this is her third landing which I just happened to catch with the camera. She had already been visited by an orange butterfly and a white butterfly. She was all set with her green shirt, flowered skirt, and of course, the wings. We had a great time!

Can anyone help me? Is there a way to change the order of your posts? Also, is there a way to put more than five images on a post?
