Pipevine swallowtail on musk thistle

            I picked out this Pipevine from the archives to post today before finding 7 Question Marks at the wetlands woods yesterday.  The QM's were flying mostly high in the trees & shots were for documentation (one below).  QM's overwinter and we find them at the same spots every year - so when you see early butterflies out in February, document exactly where you saw them and check that spot every year.

Happy Butterfly Monday!
