Bent of the River butterflies

[jh]

Here's what a dozen or so of us found between 10AM and 12PM on our CBA field
trip.  Nothing spectacularly rare or unusual, but it is always nice to see
Meadow Frits and about 50 million Great-spangled Frits (give or take about
49,999,950 or so).  An Eastern Comma and Red Admiral were ovipositing on the
sting nettles along the gravel road to the center.
