Love the skipper photo array! They get overlooked too often.

I had the usual Monarchs flying around the house and Mom found two more caterpillars. Oh, and the milkweed bugs have already migrated to the new, native milkweed. I also saw a Gulf Frit which is pretty common here. But, boy was I surprised when I saw a Tiger Swallowtail on my pentas! I haven't seen the swallowtails in the usual numbers this spring, but we did have a late frost so that may have delayed them coming out.
