A hazy 80 degree day, I thought for sure wouldn't bring out much but I was wrong about that! Now that it's thundering and raining, I think it is safe to post a report. At about 11:15 am or so, I looked out and saw a much yellower looking tiger swallowtail flying around the zinnias. Looking through the binoculars, I saw that it was a giant swallowtail! That is the first record from the yard of a giant. By the time I got outside with the camera (about 0.002 seconds) The monarchs were chasing it away and off it went. I never even got a chance at a photo. Than at about 12:30 pm, I saw a cloudless sulphur dive bomb into the red zinnias. I got out there even quicker for this one and eventually got it on a yellow flower in the yard before it too took off. Photo link below. A complete list of the yard from today is here: 1 Giant Swallowtail 1 Cloudless Sulphur 5 Monarchs 4 Pipevine Swallowtails 1 Peck's Skipper 3 Male Zabulon Skippers 2 Female Zabulon Skippers 1 Red Admiral 2 American Lady's 1 Painted Lady 1 Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 1 Red Spotted Purple Photo of cloudless sulphur: https://awgriffith.zenfolio.com/p843297028/h2669424f?customize=3#h203f9318 Andrew Griffith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MassLep" group.
