New Sighting
Still tackling our gardens, so these were incidental sightings. Watched a Tiger Swallowtail go into our Tulip Tree expecting to watch it lay eggs, but instead it nectared on multiple flowers. Found 2 Mourning Cloak caterpillars on potted up small Dwarf Hackberry trees that I've been finding and potting up while gardening. Monarch was a female frantically laying eggs on our Common Milkweed.
