Bummer on the chomper. That has happened to my last instar Queens - one even went so far as to eat through a chrysalis.

I saw another three Palamedes Swallowtails today. They seem to prefer the wooded areas and just would not stop for a photo :o) I also saw what I think were a male and female (dark form) Eastern Tiger Swallowtails. They too would not stop and I was not able to keep up with their flight.

Am going to go on the Okefenokee Swamp tour that is offered by the Recreation Center this Sunday. It's pretty much an all day affair - leaving at 8am and not getting back to the compound until 6pm.

I hope I get to see lots of wildlife :o)
