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.

I saw a Polygonia interrogationis just a few minutes ago. It reached 70 F (21 C) here today, and it looks as though we might be past any further significant cold weather this season (in TX, at least). Above 80 F is forecast for my area, by this time next week.
