Is there a site that your brother uses to find more up to date records? I spotted a giant swallowtail at Carpenter Nature Center this weekend and checked that site and they listed no sitings of this species in Dakota County, but now I do not trust their data any more.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Leedra.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Shelley, they have a longer life span but how fun can it be spending a big chunk of your life in suspended animationEcobirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162282777887777041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-69808038042388668672008-08-27T20:29:00.000-05:002008-08-27T20:29:00.000-05:00I like the mourning cloak and glad to hear of its ...I like the mourning cloak and glad to hear of its "longer" life span!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534904024320623895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-5286157036623590332008-08-27T19:38:00.000-05:002008-08-27T19:38:00.000-05:00The photo of the Mourning Cloak butterfly is beaut...The photo of the Mourning Cloak butterfly is beautiful.Leedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914177127665868671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-10475743985729398692008-08-27T19:24:00.000-05:002008-08-27T19:24:00.000-05:00Hi, nice to see those butterflies;keep 'em coming!...Hi, nice to see those butterflies;<BR/>keep 'em coming! Regarding your<BR/>Nessus Sphinx (beautiful photo by<BR/>the way), the USGS site you referred to is very behind in its<BR/>records. Conferring with my brother Ron, I learned there are records for 23 MN counties, two<BR/>records for Dakota Co. but none<BR/>for Goodhue. According to a new<BR/>book on sphingids by Jim Tuttle,<BR/>there are records for this moth<BR/>as far west as Colorado. By the<BR/>way, this moth is now called<BR/>Amphion floridensis (formerly<BR/>A. nessus).<BR/>Hap in New HopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
