Thanks for the input! I have lots of Tiger Swallowtails and Frits. I just went out for a minute and saw a TST and a Fritillary. Lots of skippers and I have Black Swallowtail cats and I have seen the adults but they seem to hide much more than other butterflies. I also see Red Spotted Purples and usually I see a Spicebush on occasion but it is hard to tell when the flit by quickly since Black Form TSTs, Red Spotted Purples and Black Swallowtails all look similar if they go by too quickly to get a good look at!
I am so sad to not have Monarchs! I have heard a lot of bad news for them and I am afraid it really is causing their decline. Hope I am worrying for nothing and it is just a natural decrease but I can't help but worry.
