Got sucked out of the house by this great weather - In the towns of Madison
and Killingworth we (Mike DiGiorgio,Bill Yule and later just myself) saw:

June 10

2 Hoary Edges
1 Tawny-edged Skipper
3 Dusted Skippers
2 Least Skippers
1 Hobomok
1 Mourning Cloak
2 Red-spotted Purples
2 Spicebush Swallowtails
Many Tiger Swallowtails
1 Viceroy
Several Spring Azures
1 Amercian Copper
Many Little Wood Satyrs
and Pearl Crescents up the wazoo!

It think volumewise, in my area at least, the Pearl Crescents take the
prize, followed by the Little Wood Satyrs and then the Tigers.

Also saw a Hummingbird Moth and White Striped Black - a couple of day
fliers.
