After a hard rain, several Eastern Tiger and Palamedes Swallowtails were imbibing from the remains of discarded fish that had nothing on them prior to the rain or a few days later when I returned and it was dry. “Seminole” Texan Crescent was a life butterfly at the subspecific level for anyone who cares.
