Giant in ADKs! Plus silver bordered….

Giant very fresh.
Latest on the Silver Bordered Fritillaries, they’re all males waiting for females I’ve decided. So I’ll keep checking…..there must be at least 10.

Nan, Thanks for your report. I am not sure if your message about the SBFs being on Perkins Clearing dirt rd. ever came through to the group. I received a message about it. The message told me to accept or reject, but then it said I didn't not have authority to do that. This happens frequently so sending to the group in case the information didn't go through.

Re: Giant Swallowtails, I have only had one so far in Tioga Co. on August 4th.

Leps are few and far between on my property that is wilder than ever and previously very active. So sad.

Will try to get recent ones posted to my spider99 iNaturalist account soon.

Good luck everyone!

I got some timelapse footage of a monarch caterpillar pupating at
Robert Treman State Park in Ithaca, and posted them on Facebook and
Instagram (you should be able to view them without accounts):

If you have the patience, the non-sped-up 5-minute footage of the
shedding is here:

I hope to get some footage of eclosing adults, but will be away all
next week so the timing might not work out :-).
