A few additions to our species sightings from SE Arizona. We didn't spend
much time out today, because I treated my son to a day in Tombstone. Lots
of butterflies, though. It was hard to concentrate on the gunslinging when
Leps were flying through the streets and amphitheatres (it's a tough hobby,
when you have to spend most of your time in a world which lacks any
lep-consciousness).
"Did you see that stunt, Dad?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry. A large, orange butterfly just flew in front of Wyatt
Earp there"
One might accuse me of being selfish, but I say it takes a strong, selfless
inner being to control oneself when you KNOW that the butterflies are
flying...
Here's the list:
Arawacus [Dolymorpha] jada (Creamy Stripe-streak - how 'bout that for a
common name?)
Strymon melinus (Grey Hairstreak)
Ministrymon leda (Leda Hairstreak)
Agraulis vanillae (Gulf Fritillary)
Phyciodes tulcis (Tulcis Crescent)
Asterocampa clyton (Tawny Emperor)
