I believe the Polydamas use a. gigantea as a larval host. Congrats again!!! I have a huge...huge a. gigantea that has really taken off this year...hope to see some Polys using it this year. Trouble is the vine has almost reached the top of the telephone pole...won't be able to reach cats if a butterfly decides to use it...might prevent the phone company from cutting it down though :o)

Was at the NABA park today after work. Got to see a Two-Barred Flasher that has been guarding the same area for about a month now. When you walk by it will fly up and zip around you as if to shoo you away :o) very territorial!!! Am assuming it's a "HE" as it has decided the area across the native coyotillo (larval host for TBF) is the choiciest spot to find a female.
