And there's a very good photo accompanying the piece in today's
Metro/State section. This is our second summer for seeing lots of them
in close-in south Austin. Passion flowers are not profuse, but there's
plenty of vine. Has anyone else been seeing these very handsome
butterflies? In what part of town? ......just wondering


We have been getting regular visits of Zebra longwings as well as a
variety of other butterflies to the Lantana and Esperanza in our front
yard, right outside my office window, in SW Austin (Westcreek
neighborhood). However, I have not seen any today.
