Collage of the rest of the windblown attempts in a NOTE at Top Right Well...... they finally appeared today... only 3 mths late ! There had been a couple two months ago.. but that was it. Today an Oklahoma Clipper of a breeze was blowing so it was nie on impossible to get pics. This is the best of a bad bunch. Hoping for better if they stick around for a few days. The Monarchs are still feeding well...so.... with luck.... Thanks for the corrected Swallowtail species Monica !
