Downstream of Fox Bridge on Library Trail.
In a patch of Looseflower Water-Willow / Lance-leaved Water-Willow - (Justicia ovata var. lanceolata), a host plant for the Seminole Crescent.
At the edge of the swamp.

The second “irruption” of Seminole Crescents at Bluebonnet Swamp in 2023 continued Sunday, 7/2/2023!
• The second “irruption” started on 6/24/2023
• The first “irruption” of 2023 began on 5/25/2023 and lasted about 8 days.

I saw and documented 9 individuals.
• 8 were observed near the Visitor Center at the edge of and in Patch #1 & #2 of Loose-flowered Water-willows, a common host plant for these crescents.
o This is near Bird Banding Nets #1 & #2.
• 1 was observed near the end of Library Trail just before crossing MODO Bridge.
• Each of the 9 individuals are entered separately into iNat.

All these individuals were in good shape.
• Almost no tattered wings.
• A few scratches on wings
• Colors vibrant

None of these was feeding on flowers.

2 were interacting in flight – flirting or fighting.

To reduce the possibility of reporting multiple sightings of the same individual in the same day, I review the pictures for distinctive markings, including:
• Shapes of markings on the top of wings.
• Scratches on the top surfaces of wings.
• Missing sections of wing
