It's been a very long time since I saw a Zebra Longwing! And even longer since I last saw a Julia. This summer is a tease...I'll start seeing a few butterflies occasionally...then nothing. In a normal summer, I'd walk outside and see them all the time! But that was before the drought and wildfires happened in Texas. Butterflies sometimes are like the canary in the mine, meaning they can be very sensitive to ecological disaster areas.
