Glad to see that there were many black swallowtails today in the area of the park where last year there were many. There were clouded sulphurs everywhere you looked. Lots of dragonflies, an interesting grasshopper, and several cedar waxwings in the field with the butterflies. The hairstreak did an interesting thing. First it just sat on the plant, then it actually crawled inside the plant.
