Picked up these native plants today from @DustinDemmer! Very excited to put all these species in the ground but I think I’m most enthralled with the hoary puccoon, one of which is already flowering. Couldn’t resist woodland phlox and New Jersey tea. Bonus: Indian paintbrush! ☺️🌱

Entomology hive mind: can anyone recommend a field guide to butterflies of Korea (preferably in English but not necessarily)? 🦋📚

🦋 First butterfly of the season today in Southern Wisconsin! An eastern comma. Bonus pink-spotted lady beetle from yesterday. Pretty dang early to be seeing these critters out and about!

@nataliealund @USNavy Thanks for your article, but I found an error. You stated that “In late August 2021, five sailors died after a MH-60R crashed in the same waters due to a mechanical failure” but this previous crash was in an MH-60S, a different helicopter model. Can you please correct?

@miq2501 Thanks! It’s a cool mural. The monarch was the focal species for two of my dissertation chapters

@lepidopterlst How cool! I'm working on putting Butterfly Gardens INSIDE City Parks. Here in southern California, the water issue is huge. Water districts are offering rebates for turf removal projects! It's perfect timing. Go butterflies!

@lepidopterlst Hi Skye, I am located West of Minneapolis and caught this one the other day. The kids and I like to catch, ID, and release! Not sure if you are collected data on this but let me know if you want more info!

A very interesting (transitional?) dark morph tiger swallowtail found in our vegetable tunnels today. I’ve seen dark morph tigers before but never one quite like this!

@Hanliconius It’s been a somewhat “normal” spring for SW Wisconsin. We had some warm temps in April followed by cold-ish, and it started heating up a couple of weeks ago.

@lepidopterlst Was it cold where you are a couple of weeks ago? I think you can see this sometimes with cold shock!
