Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Hello! Here's the first female in August to leave eggs and she left lots of them. She even hung around for a couple of days. Preferred host plant was Swamp but then it's the best looking this time of year, and I have a ton of it. Hope they make it before the freeze hits.
Status: Temporary Colonist
