I didn't get shots of the following FOY's:
Cloudless Sulphur
Zebra Swallowtail
Monarch
I also saw a flying Luna Moth. If you've never seen one of these flying before,
just picture a yellow/green swallowtail with jet engines and you'll get the
idea of what it looks like. I watched it slam hard into the ground about 100
feet away but it somehow pulled a disappearing act because I couldn't find it.
The sightings of the Leafwings is interesting. I know they are common but I had
not seen any in this area until this spring. I've had multiple sightings every
day for the past 2 weeks in lots of different places. I just saw 6 on my daily
walk around the property.
