Lots of skinks

A skink with a long tail chased a skink that had lost its tail.  The rue had swallowtail caterpillars at all stages of development including at least three that were mature.  Several varieties of wasp also fed on the rue.  I saw some butterflies and dragonflies, but not well enough to identify.

A blue jay raided the mealworms.  I think I saw a bluebird flying to some location off Northeast, maybe a food source?  They do not appear to have discovered the mealworm dish.  We took down the regular hummer feeder for cleaning and hung a cheapo that swung in the wind.  A hummer managed to feed anyway and I think it chased another away.
