Harvesters and the Elm

The Elm Leaf

In 2003, there was a specific elm sapling where the Harvesters consistently perched. I photographed as many as possible, particularly after it became obvious that there were different butterflies involved. They seemed to favor a certain leaf, although if disturbed they would sometimes chose a different leaf or an elm across the path. In 2004, they returned to the same elm, perching in roughly the same spot. 2003
