It’s been raining here since yesterday afternoon. Finally at about 3 the sun came out and the rain disappeared. That also brought out lots of Butterflies. They’ve probably been sheltering under leaves for quite a while. Just in five minutes I was able to count 5 Gulf Fritillary, 4 Monarchs, 1 Pipevine, 1 Polydamas, and 1 Cloudless Sulphur. All of the Fritillaries were focused on laying eggs.
I didn’t see any Eastern Black Swallowtails flying, but we do have lots of Chrysalis and Caterpillars.
Speaking of Butterflies, Leecy tells me we have about 115 Polydamas Chrysalises.
