Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) (f)

This has been a truly amazing 2 days

The gusting winds dropped a little this morning. The Lilacs are better than I have seen on my nearly 4 years here. They had been very neglected and I have had to shape and prune and tend them.

Today I saw at least 6 Eastern Tiger Swallowtails (male and female) and they nectared all day intermittently

There were also Fiery Skippers and Silver-Spotted Skippers and Common Sootywings

There were also fleeting visits from Black Swallowtails (who I couldnt photograph as the Tigers were running them off !)

Last night White Lined Sphinx Moths joined the Snowberry Clearwing Moths.

In just a couple more days the Lilacs will be finished...

Days like this help... we have lost so much to drought and.... the gophers !

EXPLORED !
