I've seen a lot of coupled Little Yellows lately but I haven't seen any laying
eggs.

Subject: [TN-Butterflies] Little Yellow egg on Partridge pea (Chamaecrista
fasciculata)
On the Nashville Count Saturaday, I saw a Little Yellow laying eggs on this
Partridge pea. It laid 3 or 4, then rested and nectared, then resumed
egg-laying. This continued for several minutes. It was before noon, hot and
sunny. Good thing, because this plant "folds up" when the sun goes in. So, I
wonder if egg-laying for the Little Yellow is confined to sunny days, hmmm...
