I also saw a Cloudless Sulphur, both in my yard and over in St. Pete (I went to the St. Pete Indie Market to buy an orchid from St. Pete Orchid Farm). I still have the Monarchs flying around, too. I almost had a picture of a female but then the male swooped in and they were off doing their mating dance. And yesterday, the Zebra Longwing showed up. Didn't see the Long-Tailed Skippers, though I'm sure they're still around. I also have LOTS of Monarch caterpillars.
