West Rock, 6 May

[Lawrence F. Gall]

On a mostly sunny but definitely brisk Sunday morning, on the CBA field 
trip to West Rock, CT:

Erynnis juvenalis (Juvenal's Duskywing) = 2
Papilio glaucus (Eastern Tiger Swallowtail) = 1
Papilio polyxenes (Black Swallowtail) = 1
Pieris rapae (Cabbage White) = 2
Anthocharis midea (Falcate Orange Tip) = 5-7
Mitoura grynea (Juniper Hairstreak) = 3-4
Everes comyntas (Eastern Tailed Blue) = 1

A nymphalid unidentified from a distance, perhaps Vanessa virginienses 
(American Lady); somewhat unusual to see no Celastrina ladon (Spring 
Azure); and no Orange Tip eggs on various hosts checked, perhaps a touch 
early still (just males seen flying).
