Very pleasant lunch guest, very easily flushed like most of what I have found this year. Think its time to grow the host plant as this is the fourth time we have seen it in the yard. Second year in a row, if we looked for it more often I wonder if we would see more of them. Hard to hunt in these hot conditions. also seen giant Swallowtail, western tiger, Anise, Large orange, Cloudless, cabbage, very fresh painted ladies lots more each day, gray hairstreak, Marine blue, Monarch common, gulf frit, mourning Cloak, Funereal Duskywing, Umber Skipper fiery skipper, And of course Hammock Skipper.
