MAY IN JANUARY? John Ellendorf of 123 W. Washington was surprised to see a handsome black swallowtail butterfly land on his coat sleeve Sunday while he was walking on Huron Street in Ypsilanti. A common species of fields, roadsides, meadows and gardens, the butterfly, perched on the top held by Ellendorf, normally achieves adulthood in mid-May. Apparently helped in its hatching by unseasonal warmth of a week ago, this butterfly obviously was looking for sunshine and flowers and found only snow and bitter cold.
