Broad-winged explosion, possible Mulberry Wing

[Grkovich, Alex]

Janis,

I think that this IS a Mulberry Wing,...but you know, you can actually ID easily in flight...Low, weak fluttering flight down in among the weeds and sedges, about 6 inches below the surface to at the surface...and they look dark...

Subject: Broad-winged explosion, possible Mulberry Wing


The gardens behind the Enfield Senior Center have become progressively more productive.
For the past few days there have been three to four Broad-winged Skippers.   Today, there were 12 to 20.    Lots in two different sections, one area of Broad-winged's was similar to the many Pearl Crescents at our feet on Saturday's trip at Flaherty Field.
Also
Easter Tiger Swallowtail
Great Spangled Fritillary
Silver-spotted Skipper
Two Snowberry Moths
And, pictured below, possible Mulberry Wing.   I am a novice with LBJ skippers, so I would appreiate any different opinions on the ID.   This butterfly was in a different area, on a different plant type surrounded only by bees.    Noticeable was the white face, black antena clubs and the overall dark color with bright yellow on HW.   This was the best photo I could get beause of the strong breeze constantly blowing the flowers.   I'll be back tomorrow after teaching a class at the Center in the morning.
