Round one on my fennel is way ahead of schedule. I'm glad I increased my
planting this year so there will be plenty to go around for both 'flys and
humans.

Yesterday, 04/27/09 I saw my FOY Silver-spotted Skipper.
Now that dragonflies are coming out strong, it's been hard to keep my eyes
off forktails at my feet and watch for butterflies-truly a dilemma at times.
Good Flyin'

In the email of April 27, the digital of a melanistic swallowtail was
identified as a female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. This is incorrect. Steve
Stedman pointed out the white dots on the abdomen that are not present in
the Tiger. He states, "All dark form (i.e., female) Eastern Tiger
Swallowtails have all-dark bodies (this is not a field mark noted in many of
the guides, but you will find this feature borne out by all dark tigers you
ever see; may not be true of the intermediate form females, which this
individual is not an example of in any case)." There was some questions
whether20the digital showed one or two yellow rows. However, the individual
pictured appeared to be ovipositing on a parsley. Steve states, "Parsley is
one of several host plants of Black Swallowtail, so that about clinches the
i.d. as Black Swallowtail." Jeff Basham agrees with Steve's analysis. An
individual of this type was back today, April 28, but did not land in the
yard.
Also, I mentioned two species that my fritillary might be. Steve pointed out
that both are wrong for various reasons. The likely choice would be
Variegated. I have fired my possibility consultant. The position is now
open. Doesn't pay. Send resumes.
