Eastern Amberwing
What a beauty! This pose is called "obelisking". This is one of the smallest dragonflies in North America.
I found a new butterfly to add to my life list - a Fiery Skipper! It's a "little brown job" (Skipper), but I think it is quite pretty with all its spots.

Fiery Skipper
According to the Massachusetts Butterfly Club's website, this butterfly is "variably uncommon to rare", with a maximum of 16 seen in any given season in Massachusetts. Not sure how up to date this information is, but this is the first one I've seen! It is a migrant. It can't make it through the cold Massachusetts winters, so it must go elsewhere to survive the winter.
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
I keep hoping to see a Giant Swallowtail, but so far I have not been lucky.
Least Skipper (so tiny and cute)
Painted Lady
Monarch
This white butterfly bush is finally bringing them in!
