Horace's Duskywing
Long-tailed Skipper
Sunny and hot with loads of butterflies and skippers. Saw a Horace’s Duskywing turn their head almost completely around back & forth several times like birds do when checking out their area. Have never seen that behavior in a butterfly before. Monarch Cats continue. Black Swallowtail cats/chrysalis continue.
