Not sure what those trees were...it doesn't look like the magnolia trees I used to have in my yard when I lived in Tennessee. The leaves on the trees in the swamp seemed softer and a shiny new green. Oh well, still haven't gotten a Tiger photo. It's been raining during the day and it has become extremely hot and humid. Clouds in the sky in the afternoons make it shady - no butterflies flying about aside from Common Checkered Skippers.

I need to get back on the trails through Tribute and Butcher Park here on the compound. Perhaps the weather will be more agreeable later in the week. I want to see more Palamedes and Tigers!!!

Saw this poor BST today in the field across the dorm. It rained Sunday and Monday so am thinking this one eclosed during the bad weather and wasn't able to dry and pump up its wings properly.
