Warm, 75 degrees, in the low Appalachian mountain Nature Conservancy area,
Blue Wall Preserve, in Greenville County, SC. The 3 mile out and back trail
rises from 1100' ASL at Vaughan Creek to over 1300' at the second pond on
the northeastern flank of 3209' Hoback Mountain. This is where I
photographed South Carolina's first recorded Appalachian Tiger
Swallowtails, near Vaughan Creek, about 10 years ago.

Lots of flying insects today including-
8 Eastern Tiger Swallowtail including one dark female FOY
5 Summer Azure FOY
6 Eastern Comma all photographed
2 unid Polygonia Probably most Polygonia I've had on a hike
