One of our earliest butterflies appeared on Friday, April 17th. The Mourning Cloak butterfly, so-named by Thaddeus W. Harris because the caterpillars were believed to be venomous. With its hairy, spiny appearance, this caterpillar morphs into a beautiful butterfly. Out on Big Bertha's stump, a Mourning Cloak was sipping at the sap, still puddled in the center.
