7/5 - I checked out Hop Brook Park on the Naugatuck\Middlebury line today, my first time here in July. Some milkweed in bloom along with dogbane, yarrow, queen anne's lace, and clover. Had the following species:


Spicebush Swallowtail 1
Cabbage White 7
Orange Sulphur 3
HARVESTER 1 lifer!
Great Spangled Fritillary 3
Pearly Crescent 12
Question Mark 2
Anglewing Sp 1
Red Admiral 3
Crossline Skipper 1
Northern Broken Dash 3
Little Glasswing 1
Dun Skipper 1
Skipper Sp 25 - "black witch" species I didn't pay attention to


The harvester was puddling on the gravel path along the lake. Some photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/connecticutpete/7511785522/in/photostream/


Also there are lots of willows behind the lake near a small pond, but I wasn't able turn up any Acadian hairstreaks.
