There is a very large percentage of black females, at least 70 percent of all
the females were black. Many of these were very worn, so I'm not sure if these
are spring brood or if the first summer brood came early and is already on the
way out. In any event, there are lots of Tigers here in the Memphis area and
not just the basketball playing types!

What percentage of the Tigers were black females? I'm not seeing huge numbers
of Tigers but it's more than I'd usually see this time of year and about 30%
have been black.
I also saw one yesterday that was so light that from a distance I thought it
was a Zebra.

Took most of the day off from work and went to Meeman-Shelby Forest to check on
things before next weekend's count. The wildflower planting all over the park
were literally covered with Eastern Tiger Swallowtails. There had to have been
at least 200-300 just at the park. On one buttonbush behind the visitors
center I counted 24, and that didn't include the backside that I couldn't see.
I'm hoping the wildflowers and the butterflies hold on for another 9 days!!!!
