Yes, and often they can be the reason the tall trees are challenged, if not dead, if they’re long term residents. As fun as they are, their droppings have been suggested to be harmful to trees in large sustained doses. Dunno if that’s really true, but that’s one reason people give for trying to chase them off.
Nice Skipper butterfly. I've often seen them swarm around butterfly bushes. But they're still not as common as the Cabbage Whites, Clouded Sulphurs and Tiger Swallowtails (along with the Monarchs in August-October!)

Wolf's bane, Arnica montana, Storsjön, Viskafors, Sweden, 15 July. ”Slåttergubbe” in Swedish. There is a saying in Bondepraktikan (Old Farmer's Almanac):
”När slåttergubben kommer med piga och dräng, då är tid för bonden att bärga sin äng”
Loosely translated: ”When the farmer comes with maid and hand, it is time to harvest the grass”
The maid and hand refers to the two smaller flower buds next to the flower itself:
I love Lillies. I think the white are so beautiful and elegant.

There were large shrubs of these flowers in the Municipal Park I visited yesterday, but this small branch hanging over a fence along a walkway by a tennis court, really caught my eye (morning walk Keswick Park, Burnaby, BC).
We get lots of skippers. The kids like to catch and release them. We do get the other varieties you mention, but not to the same degree as skippers!
I thought yesterday was the last of the wild roses but decided to include this one as well. It's sort of a wild rose. It's located along the river path behind a restaurant. It was planted by a Chinese family who owned the restaurant at the time. I recall they would always have roses on the tables when it was blooming. Then their teenaged daughter developed an illness that forced them to sell and move to Edmonton to be close to the medical center where she was being treated. I doubt that it has been watered since then and certainly never pruned or deadheaded, but somehow it seems to thrive.
Lumix ZS200 Camera. Slight under exposure and I did have to slightly reduce the saturation to keep the reds from blocking up.

Pupating ladybug larvae...this process from larvae to Ladybug takes several days to complete.
You will notice that the Ladybug legs are forming, the hard shell of the back, and the head shield, etc.

Came across this 4 inch tarantula as I was coming in from putting out the horses yesterday am. As soon as he felt my presence, he stopped moving and slunked down with belly on the ground. I raced back to the house to get my camera and found him in the same place and position when I returned.
