My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

First time this summer..

13 years ago

...I've had a RSP in my yard. It was on the ground, sunning itself. I got a real eyeful (when I didn't have the camera, of course) of the blue iridescence covering the whole hindwing and blushing up into the forewing, where the red spots begin. Unbelievably beautiful!

It hung around, fortunately, for me to get a couple of shots, but not as good as when I first saw it.

I saw RSP early last fall, too, but not again until now. What can I do to encourage them? I have cherries, but they're still not numerous.
