I may be too old for that, but I keep wanting to jump up and down with excitement! I saw her twice to day, first time I tried to follow, but lost sight of her. The second time I actually ran, followed her into the back yard, then I circled around to the front as she flew over the house to the front. It looked like she tried to light on a couple of trees, but didn't. Then headed to the Arizona Ash. It was so windy I don't know how she did it , but she laid eggs! As soon as she flew off, I dragged out a tall ladder and even though I told myself I'm too old to do it, I climbed up to check the branches high up there. Yep! She did it! I've got what must be TST eggs! The two-tail surely wouldn't use ash. Not a dark butterfly...I didn't get a close look, but definitely a yellow and black tiger! I don't have much leafed out. Neither Texas Ash or the black cherry trees yet. It was a hard winter and rain was practically nonexistent. Lean pickings out there for the early bird, obviously!
