[Leica] IMG: Black Swallowtail

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Douglas,

Thanks for the kind words.  I can relate to your young cat's behavior.  
One of my neighbors has a cat that relocates to my yard when he gets 
tired of romping with the dog in his household.  I have had to scold him 
for going after butterflies.
