CLOUDLESS SULPHUR BUTTERFLY
(sp. Phoebis sennae)
This is a rather small Butterfly that adorns Rockport’s
open spaces, gardens and shore. Rather fleeting they’re a hard Butterfly to catch.
SPICEBUSH SWALLOWTAIL
(sp. Papilio troilus Linnaeus)
The Spicebush Swallowtail is a low
flyer, and they tend to flap their
wings more than other Butterflies
especially when feeding or resting. Its Host Plant, in Rockport,
would be our local native, the
Redbay (sp. Persea borbonia).
