This summer the flower beds have been visited by Gulf Fritilary and Skippers the most. We have also had Black Swallowtail, but they were very late this summer and we did not see them in the numbers we had last year by any stretch of the imagination. We probably had about 20 Black Swallowtail cats on our carrots and parsley. Right now we are trying to save the Gulf Fritilary cats from the ants that patrol their host plant, the Passion Flower Vine. We are still waiting for the Monarchs. We expect them any day now with them peaking mid October here in the Atlanta area.
