Hi everyone,
Sorry that it took a week for this update, but I wanted to let you all know that 9 of us found 9 Morels last Sunday on our second Morel Hunt to Catawba.  I think we were just a little early to those spots, but at least it wasn't a bust and we had a lot of fun!  In the pictures, you can see a lovely flower (new to me) called Wild Oats, a Spicebush Swallowtail (someone correct me if I'm wrong about the butterfly), Anton with a feather in his hat, Alex and Chris pointing out a Morel with a walking stick, and the biggest individual haul for the day from Tony--lovely Morchella esculentoides.
If it doesn't rain all day on my day off tomorrow, maybe I will have a chance to do more hunting.
Wednesday I went to three spots on the Parkway with no luck, but it sounds like some of you have been having a fine season!
Maybe I'll see some of you at the Rally,
Becky Rader

I am a bad Master Naturalist, I knew it was our logo, but somehow the wrong Swallowtail lept (flew?) to mind

Rebecca,
It's an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (or possibly the new Appalachian Tiger Swallowtail which almost looks identical).
It's the state insect and is on our logo for the Virginia Master Naturalists.
Still looking for morels here but frustrated I can't find any.   Joan
