Another “irruption” of Seminole Crescents at Bluebonnet Swamp on Saturday, 6/24/2023!!
The ones that I saw and heard of were all observed near the Visitor Center in at the edge of and in Patch #1 of Loose-flowered Water-willows, a common host plant for these crescents.
This is near Bird Netting Net #1.
The first two sightings were by “muchio” and already reported to iNat.
These were observed at 1:00 & 2:00 PM.
“muchio” mentioned his findings to Sean Golden. Sean found a third one at about 2:15 and called me at home and I arrived at about 2:30 PM. The Seminole Crescent waited until I arrived!
While I took pictures, Sean spotted 2 more … and then we found and documented a total of 8 in a period of about 15 minutes. We saw 2 or 3 more, but no pictures of those.
All the individuals were in good shape – no wing damage.
Suggesting that maybe they all recently came out of their cocoons (eclosed) (??).
All the 8 that were observed and photoed by Sean & I will be reported separately to iNat.
