Seemingly overnight a bunch of new Crimson Patches had also emerged. The few beat up lingering ones seemed to have finally given up.
A Desert Checkered-Skipper in the new gardens up front was my first at the park this year.
A Two-barred Flasher has been hanging out in the shady ditch lately.
This Gray Cracker looks much like the one that was hanging out a couple of hundred yards further north with the emperors last week. It was down in the south gardens today.
Three Brown-banded Skippers were guarding the Barbados Cherries. Maybe we'll have some more in a few weeks.
You can't tell it, but this was the smallest Zebra Heliconian I've ever seen. The wingspan was barely two inches.
