Re: Stray Swallowtails
According to the Kaufman field guide, P anchisiades is "found mainly in extreme southern Texas, where it is apparently scarce or irregular, flying at various times from spring to late fall." Eggs & larvae have been found on the US side of the border, so it may be a part-time (not every...

Re: Question about pinning spread Lepidoptera
My guess is that many of the legs have already broken off from being pressed into the cotton. If that is the case and you don't mind losing a few more, just hold the specimen by the underside of the thorax (as described by Bill Garthe) and insert the pin into the top of the thorax. I've done this nu...

Falcate Orangetips
I saw several Falcate Orangetips (Anthocharis midea) today. It is usually the first butterfly of the spring brood in my area. Also saw a snout butterfly (Libytheana bachmanii) and a couple of UFOs. Time to dust off my net.

Re: Even common species can offer subtle surprises
I see Phoebis sennae & A. andria on warm days all winter long. A. andria hides under bark. Not sure about P. sennae.

Re: Light collecting
My light rig has a 400w MV bulb (clear, not frosted) on one side of the sheet and four 40w, 48" UV fluorescent bulbs on the other side. The side with the MV light gets a lot more bugs. I use a generator for power.
