Hi guys, Turns out to be a warm day today in San Diego. I found one female P. sennae (Cloudless Sulphur) flying around Cassia trees in my office's parking lot...
Hi Koji and all, Yes we still have larvae of the Cloudless Sulphur here in Long Beach on Cassia didymobotrya and C. bicapsularis. Richard James Long Beach, CA ...

Hi Ken, I don't know if you are interested in elevation records as well as early/late dates but will send in case you are. On 19 Mar 2007 my husband Gene and I...
Richard, I'm jealous. I'd love to shoot one of your Cloudless Sulfur larvae (with a camera). I do have some wood nymph larvae going though. (Cercyonis...
And they are and it was. Mark ... From: SoWestLep@yahoogroups.com [mailto:SoWestLep@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of aguillard2469 Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007...
Mark and Doug, The simple observation still may bring some intrigue. One thing I'm kind of curious about mourning cloaks in San Diego County is if they are...
Todd, I know around my area, Cassia trees will be in very bad condition, not suited for P. sennae larvae. No new shoots will come out for next few months. So...
Dear Lynn, Ken, and other indraphiles, It never occurred to me to ask for the lowest recorded elevation for any indra subspecies, or for P. i. pergamus in...
Hi Ray and all, I have taken P. indra pergamus at Onyx Peak in the San Bernardino's in June. The elevation there is 9200 ft. Certainly, others have taken...
Ray and Lynn: Knowing what the actual lowest and highest elevational records for anything is not within the scope of my recordkeeping. So it would be a record...
Everyone: The HIGH elevation for Indra Swallowtail that I know of is for Papilio indra panamintensis: Telescope Peak, Panamint Mountains, Inyo County,...
Hey Ken, Ray: I suppose I'm going to say something controversial, but I really do think that county records are of limited value. I quite prefer the "dot"...
Doug, Mark and all, I have enjoyed reading your comments. Being a date-watcher, I note that the earliest and latest calendar dates for Phoebis sennae and ...
I had Cloudless Sulphers laying eggs on my Cassia in my yard about 2 weeks ago. Doug ... County is if they are producing continuous generations down there or ...
James, Mark, and rest: I've followed this thread with intrigue. I do agree that County maps are a start and that if someone like a regional LepSoc coordinator...
Yes, the key term here is *limited* value. I also must say that I rather like the work that Ray has done to represent the degree with which a particular county...
Todd, I have been numbering localities (1 to n in each county) since 1971 in my records, first on Burroughs Edge-punch cards then in computer files. It sure...
Probably indra flies earlier, and prefers to cruise along beneath the summit, while bairdii flies later and utilizes the hilltop itself. probably perching on...
Chris, Todd and all, I agree that a single dot tells less of a lie [see Art Shapiro's note in the recent News Lepid Soc] than filling in the entire county, but...
Ray, Thanks for your generous efforts. Keep up the good work. It is far better to have a range map of filled counties than no map at all. ...........Chris...
As many of you know, Malcolm Douglas was the victim of a very unfortunate accident early last month while on an ATL butterfly trip to Peru. Malcolm fell to...
Everyone: The slow period on TILS Leps talk probably reflects the holiday season and the fact that the butterfly collecting or watching part of 2007 is over...
