my first butterfly of spring

[Arlene Ripley]

Rob,

On March 16, I had my first butterflies of the season here in Calvert
Co., MD -- two Mourning Cloaks and an anglewing. Today I had my first
sulphur. A friend has already reported seeing a Zebra Swallowtail on the
23rd. I wonder when my overwintering spicebush swallowtail will emerge?
