Ooh, a shiny new thread. I greatly underestimated the amount of pawpaw my zebra STs can eat. So after work today I headed out to a different side of the preserve. I hadn't been on that side in a while. This is usually the dry season, but we've had a lot of rain and it was really wet once I got a few hundred yards in. Mostly, I stayed in the dry part where the pawpaws grow. I saw two ZST do a fly by and I found four cats while I was picking food.

In other news, I found more sulphurs on my cassia so I brought them in. At last count there were sixteen. My Giant ST is so big I think he might be getting ready to become a butterfly. I'm not looking forward to cleaning up my first massive poo of the year, but it will be worth it when the butterfly ecloses. My mystery cat is still eating the mayhaw and silking up the place. I also managed to scare up this Gulf Frit while I was walking around.
