This is the second time this species has visited my yard, the last time was May 29, 2009. There are scattered records of it in North Texas, West Texas, and New Mexico -- all in the month of May. What causes it to disperse northward in May is a mystery. Dale Clark Dallas County Lepidopterists' Society http://www.dallasbutterflies.com |
