Prairie Restoration

During the winter of 2021-22 this six acre area was seeded with numerous prairie plants. Photo #2 shows a Cloudless Sulphur caterpillar on Partridge Pea.

Despite their bright yellow color, Cloudless Sulphurs can be amazingly cryptic when perched hanging on the underside of leaves, reducing their chances of being discovered by predators.
