Hi Everyone,

I was amazed to see another Striped Hairstreak in our yard yesterday. This =
time Ben got to see it too.

Question: I=E2=80=99ve had such a beautiful array of native blooms for the =
past couple of weeks but not many butterflies. Does the extreme heat have a=
nything to do with it? Here are the few we documented yesterday:


Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, 1
Pipevine Swallowtail, 2 (one laying eggs)
Cabbage White
Summer Azure, 1
STRIPED HAIRSTREAK <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/378158449>, 1

Cheers,
Heather Rayburn
Asheville
