I guess this is directed to the list and not just Dave or Rosemary, but
regarding White Peacocks, who has been seeing it in New Orleans? Kevin
Cunningham reported that Mike Lefort had seen it this year in Galliano but I
had nor seen any posts about its presence in NO (or elsewhere for that matter).

Lalep,
Thanks to all that replied to my request for info on O-b Sulphurs. I learned
that they occur naturally and have also been released by several people in both
Baton Rouge and New Orleans over the past few years. They use several varieties
of senna and cassia found in urban gardens and a sustaining population seems to
be in place. I severe winter would test this population.
Another question and I promise the last for a while. This has been a good year
for White Peacocks in New Orleans as well. Perhaps I am again unaware of there
status relying mainly on field guides. I am wondering if this is another
species that local butterfly enthusiasts have raised and released in New
Orleans?
When visiting my son in Orlando this summer, they were everywhere we went. I
was thinking this may have been a really good year for them in their published
ranges as well.
Thanks,
Dave Patton
