Instead of walking by we ventured in the mostly shady community lot. The snow square stem was in full bloom and there were Zebra Heliconias flying in the shadows. Otherwise the beginning of yet another scorching day but although not as frequent we are still getting enough rain that I don’t need to water my garden. I think we are over that 12 year drought in SE GA!

The Cloudless was a female laying many eggs on Chamaecrsita fasciculata. So there are at least two in the area. No sign of the copper previously reported after 5 hours of searching.

Walked a quick small loop after mountain biking the trails. Most sightings were from walking the power line cut, but some identifiable species from the ride were also counted…including the Buckeye that hit me in the face! Had another Sleepy Orange sit for a split second grainy photo again…

Sunny, temps continue in mid 60’s which is cool for us this time of year compared to past years, winds 12-14 MPH. Long-tailed Skipper seen with TK though no images - being chased by many Common Buckeyes, very flighty and not settling down to nectar. Mint fresh Spicebush Swallowtail late afternoon. Monarch caterpillars number 22 seen, all look close to pupating.

We had planned to access the Woodbine Greenway Trail (a historic location for Dukes Skipper) but it was overgrown (old rail bed). Wildflowers on Hwy 17 right of way near the bridge provided a lot of butterfly activity. White Peacock was a surprise, we have only seen these on Georgia’s barrier islands and beaches. We saw it oviposting perhaps on water hyssops.

Nice day, everything is very dry but one aster patch was pretty busy, with a praying mantis taking advantage of the bounty. Long Ridge is open again to the public but with some very noticeable changes to the landscape. Presumably for fire prevention, large trail-side areas have been bulldozed clear of vegetation.

Luciano Guerra
National Butterfly Center
Hidalgo County, TX
Here is a collage made up of four different photos I took of the male Silver Emperor I came across on the National Butterfly Center’s Hackberry Trail this morning. These photos demonstrate how the iridescent blue sheen that the male of this species sometimes displays, is dependent on the angle of light hitting the wings.
In photos #1 and #2 the blue sheen is not present at all. However in photo #3 there is a slight amount of the blue sheen apparent while in photo #4 there is significantly more. Why is this? Because the blue is a refractive color and needs to be viewed at just the right angle to be visible. At the perfect angle, the blue sheen would actually be visible on both wings at the same time.
