Many more butterflies since our recent rains, especially Silver Spotted Skippers and Eastern Tigers, with newly arrived here, Fiery and Common Checkered Skippers that I had two weeks ago just 20 miles south at Swan Harbor Farm. Pipevine butterfly is only once in several year interval species and I grow Pipevine.
