Tomorrow I will be out there at dawn, although I have no idea how the shot will come out. Perhaps I can take a light out with me...who knows. At any rate here is the second shot. One more note on these guys. Yesterday in doing more walk about's than normal to see if I could catch any more emerging, I counted three flying and foraging just about 15 feet from where the Coontie bed is located. If I include the one that had just emerged, that's four at once in my yard. I ran that by Sandy Koi and she confirmed that I have my own colony of Atala's.
