If there's a sign of spring here in scrub besides the flower buds, it's the budding romance of the inhabitants. I captured an image of a couple of Tropical Checkered Skippers continuing their genetic line near one of the gates. I usually just see caterpillars, so this is what you might call the pre-pre-caterpillar stage. I need to get out and look for more insects, but I've been busy with trash patrol and Sand Skink monitoring. Next spring will be more carefree, I promise.
