On Saturday, 6/20 I visited Fresh Meadows Sanctuary in Cheshire where I
found a total of 8 species of butterflies. The list for the day is as
follows:
Cabbage White (8)
Red-spotted Purple (1)
Viceroy (2)
Little Wood Satyr (1)
Least Skipper (12)
European Skipper (2)
Indian Skipper (1) (very worn)
Peck's Skipper (1) (very worn)
At least at this location, it appears that the extended stretch of rainy
weather has killed off the butterflies that emerged in late May and early
June and delayed the emergence of species that historically emerged in
mid-June.
On a positive note, I note that, as a result of this rainy weather, there
will be a bumper crop nectar plants blooming at the sanctuary in early July.
