Spotted by Ken Childs on 3/30/09 American Lady x 2 (photo) Juvenal's Duskywing x 1 (photo) Here's the rest of what I saw today on the farm: Azure sp. x 1 Gray Hairstreak x 3 Falcate Orangetip x 3 (all females) Eastern Tiger Swallowtail x 4 Black Swallowtail x 4 Question Mark x 1 Sleepy Orange x 1 Sulphurs x many Nessus Sphinx Moth x 2 A few notes about today: The ETSW's were all late arrivals. I did a last check of my favorite patch of henbit at about 4:30 and saw the first one. About 3 minutes later, the next one arrived. A minute after that #3 showed and about a minute after that #4 showed up. I sat for another 10 minutes and that was it. All 4 were males. Last year I was having a difficult time getting underside shots of the duskywings so I could get them documented for Chester County. I eventually did but the funny thing is that this year, the first of each species that I saw gave me easy underside shots. I saw my first dragons of the year. Blue Corporals were emerging and were all around my ponds. I stopped counting at 20 but I'd estimate that I saw 40 or so today. I also found my first mole salamander this morning.
