Swallowtail Butterflies in Ridgefield
Male Western Tiger Swallow-tail butterflies will sometimes congregate in wet areas seeking nutrients. The term for this behavior is mud-puddling. These butterflies were seen today on the west side of Gee Creek downstream from Abrams Park in Ridgefield. There were 32 that Paul Snoey counted with some leaving and new arrivals dropping in on occasion.
