Still trying to recover from yesterday's butterfly observations. It was really warm again today and many butterflies were actively darting about looking for mates or laying eggs but the flower and nectar supply is very limited for them. I saw a black swallowtail in an overgrown dead vegetation field that was apparently laying eggs on anything that looked green on the ground level. She was fluttering her wings very rapidly and was constantly searching. I was unable to get a pic with her movement but I was able to get a small American lady (note white dot in forewing orange above for ID) on wild verbena.
I used to live in New York and Ohio, so I hope you folks up North get some of this nice Spring weather soon.
