Yesterday, August 17, BK and I had a great walk around the Macricostas
Preserve of Steep Rock.  Diversity was low, but interesting species showed
up:
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
Cabbage White
Clouded Sulphur
Orange Sulphur
Eastern Tailed-Blue -- A profusion  It seemed that every step we took put
up another couple of individuals -- there must have been 100s each fresher
than the last.
Summer Azure
Great Spangled Fritillary
Aphrodite Fritillary -- the latest we've seen one here.
Pearl Crescent
Viceroy
Common Ringlet
Silver-spotted Skipper
Wild Indigo Duskywing -- a first for Macricostas but probably a harbinger
of things to come as there is Crown Vetch all over the place near where we
saw it.
Least Skipper -- pristine second brood individuals
Peck's Skipper
Tawny-edged Skipper

Peary and BK
