Only one other butterfly could be found in that whole area and that was a Western Tiger Swallowtail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I saw my first of the year Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong>, a Western Spring Azure<\/strong>, and a Pale Tiger Swallowtail<\/strong>. There were also many dragonflies: California Darner<\/strong>, Dot-tailed Whiteface<\/strong> , and Western Pondhawk<\/strong>, among others.<\/p>\n
