The weather was cooperative on West Rock on Saturday for the CBA field trip, and although the absolute number of butterflies was small, the signature species were present and made for good observation.  Results: Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) 3, Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa) 2, Cabbage White (Pieris rapae) 3, Falcate Orange Tip (Anthocharis midea) 15+, Spring Azure (Celastrina ladon) 5+, juniper Hairstreak (Callophrys grynea) 5+, Juvenal's Duskywing (Erynnis juvenalis) 2.  Also a fresh adult Lettered Sphinx (Deidamia inscriptum) and some webs of second instar larvae of Eastern Tent Caterpillar (Malacosama americanum), and abundant bombyliid flies.  Overall the seasonality remains somewhat late and particularly so for canopy tree leaf-out.  Best, Larry
