Coordinator notes: C.G. Carpenter and myself were observing/collecting specimens in live oak woods near Boerne. C.G. Carpenter caught the Julia at some flowers. We looked over the specimen, which he kept for his collection. This information was recorded in my field notebook after the sighting. I only saw one other Julia in the greater San Antonio area, at my mom's house in Universal City, TX (Bexar Co), nectaring on loquat flowers in November in the late 1970's, but I did not record the date/time on that sighting.
