- Cabbage White 8
- Gulf Fritillary 2
The Gulf Fritillaries were nectaring on Wolfberry (Lycium torreyi, Solanaceae) in full bloom. One was fresh and bright, the other worn with a large beak mark on one hind wing. After nectaring, they flew around each other as if courting. The Cabbage Whites were investigating London rocket (Sysimbrium irio, Brassicaceae.)
