Naugatuck Industrial Park + Red Admirals

[PJDEGENNARO at aol.com]

5/21/10 - Naugatuck Industrial Park - light winds and warm  temperature 
brought lots of activity - both butterflies and deer flies.  List:
 
Wild Indigo Duskywing  many, easily the most numerous  species
 
Peck's Skipper  numerous
Tawny-edged Skippper 1
Dusted Skipper 1
American Copper 2
Pearl Crescent 1
American Lady 2
Red Admiral 2
Little Wood Satyr 2
 
I've seen Red Admirals everywhere the last few weeks in the Waterbury area, 
 about 40 at East Rock Park, New Haven, and a dozen flying north up in 
Woodstock.  When was the last big invasion of this species in CT? I read 
somewhere that 2001  was a good year.
