Swallowtails!!!

 







































During this very wet summer, we have had an abundance of swallowtails ...
Below ... a Black Swallowtail,  Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (female), Spicebush Swallowtail (? female, greenish), Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (female, black morph), and a male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail covered by dew.

 


 

Still seeing a few monaches ...

























Our seven acre pollinator conservation field (year one, below) is doing well.  Partridge peas and black-eyed susans blooming last week.
