We discovered a big Monarch butterfly trapped in our outdoor candleholder last night. We got him out but he flew like a drunken man walks. I guided him to some grasses and left him for the night. He was gone this morning and I hoped he had recovered and flown away. But about 4 this morning I smelled a skunk and quickly closed the window. I fear either he or a wandering cat may have discovered the flutter-by and had him for a snack.

How it graces the dandelion.
Your garden friend looks like a Painted Lady. We've a goodly amount of them here fluttering about in the local park.
May you have the dry weather you need for gardening!
