Field Notes

Habitat:

Urban backyard.

Notes:

All three of these Sachems landed at about the same time. The male(bottom right) seemed to be interested in the lower female. The upper female vibrated her wings, which I've previously seen associated with Sachem mating behavior. Eventually, they all flew off.
