We spent the afternoon walking the roadsides. Found A.
oenotheroides in scattered singletons and clumps along 185 from Seadrift to Port O'Connor (about 18 miles). Finally found enough A. viridis to make us happy in a ditch along 1289 north of Powderhorn Lake coming from Port O'Connor to Port Lavaca.
These are all in the southern half of the county. Found only one more A. viridis north of these locations ... five miles west of Port Lavaca on Farm Road 1679 ... this was NOT good!

Found no eggs, saw no monarchs, have fresh eggs on backyard curassavica again today.

Now we need to head inland as soon as we recover to see what asperula has popped up!
