Issuing snake warning: Venomous and non-venomous species observed. Avoid wet, cool areas that have good food sources. Copperhead and a rat snake observed. Copperheads are known to bite without warning- although, I've had no experiences with this myself. Luckily. Rat Snake above. Captured by momma.
Swallowtails are abundant! Except... there's an imposter! The first butterfly, or the first three pictures, is a red-spotted admiral. The most likely subspecies is red-spotted purple. The next four are of (obviously) an eastern tiger swallowtail. The last (three pictures) is a pipevine swallowtail, the one I had mentioned a while ago.
Yes, it's that time! The mayflies are descending, as of July 6th, 2020. Weren't they supposed to be mayflies?
Also, this is not mayflies: a couple of scissor-tailed flycatcher sightings (by Emily and me, mostly Emily) on the 4th of July. A possible pipevine swallowtail did not make it. I acquired some pictures for later research. This was a couple of days ago, maybe day before the day before yesterday. I.e., Friday, July 3rd.
