Wow! That is surprising!

We have plenty of stuff blooming here, fortunately. It was such a mild winter. But I still hadn't seen a Zebra Longwing in the wild so I was a bit concerned. But Mom reported seeing one in the yard the other day so I'm glad to know they're back. Once we had two years of harsh winters (by Florida standards) and I went over a year without seeing a Zebra Longwing. So now I worry until I see one. Also, when we were coming home from the movies the other day, I saw a Tiger Swallowtail! It was rather small for one, but I was glad to see it anyway.
