A Summery Surprise on a Hot July Morning
The Crane’s Mill campus, a Certified Wildlife Habitat, combines the beauty of nature with the convenience of being close to everything.
Earlier this morning, a magnificent, brightly-colored butterfly landed on a bush right outside of Towne Square. Thanks to my ever-useful camera phone, I was able to snap a photo before Mr. Butterfly had to continue on his way:
An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail lands for a visit to Crane's Mill.
Some research suggests that our new friend is most likely an Easter Tiger Swallowtail. Are we correct? If you’re a nature enthusiast and can give us some more info, please click here to send us an email.
To see more of our campus and its natural surroundings, take a look at our recent ‘100 Nature Photos’ series. From box turtles and screech owls to sunflowers and turkey tail mushrooms, it’s a true feast for the eyes!
