We've not seen many to date this year. Mostly likely due to the field behind our house being sprayed with round-up prior to a soy bean planting. The field is normally wild grass growing 3 foot high. We have seen a few Eastern Tiger Swallowtails, cabbage whites, frittiliaries, common buckeyes, and gray hairstreaks. Not many of either, but a few. The most abundant has been the silver spotted skippers. Thankfully, there have been many bees for pollination.
