Monarch and Swallowtails

Saw my first Monarch (Danaus plexippus) of the year while walking the fields and woods of Bolivar Heights in Harpers Ferry, WV. I hope this year turns out better numbers of them than last. Other first of year sightings included a few male Wild Indigo Duskwings (Erynnis baptisiae),  Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) and Spicebush Swallowtail (Papilio troilus). Clouded and Orange Sulphurs were seen in equal numbers.
