Woohoo a BST!!! Am positive she'll be back. I've seen one at the ranch for the past three weeks. Very fresh when I first saw it...so am thinking there is some type of larval host growing out there...but can't figure out what it could be. I've only seen one native rue (dutchman's breeches) and that was last year in another city. I tossed out some QAL seeds but not sure they will grow. That area is always suffering from a drought. Lots of native wildflowers and weeds in bloom.


Here's a photo from 02/25/07. I think it's nectaring on a native verbena - ground cover with tiny white blooms.
