  Sighting 1369021

Observation date: August 07, 2023
Date notes: I actually the Atala saw it 3 times on different days and once on the coonties laying eggs. Don't know if it was one single female or more than one on the other days. Those coontie that are the host cycads of Atala have been there for more than 25 years and never had an Atala seen before this in Stuart, Fl area or near them.
