Guilford butterfly sightings

[Epmanshell at aol.com]

On Monday, 8/18, I visited a couple of the sites I will be covering  on 
Saturday's field trip.
 
I started out a Chaffinch Island Park where I found a total of 8 species of  
butterflies including an American Snout and a very fresh Hackberry  Emperor.
 
Both the Snout and the Emperor were found in their traditional site.
 
While the American Snout was very visible once it finally showed up in the  
Hackberry trees, the Hackberry Emperor was very difficult to find.  The  
Hackberry Emperor was found by another butterflier at 1:45 PM, just as I was  
arriving at the park.  It took me 1 1/2 hours to find it myself. (I can be  
persistent.)
 
On the way home, I stopped at Jared Elliot Preserve where I found a total  of 
11 species of butterflies including an American Snout that was nectaring on  
the New York Ironweed.
