<DIV>Cloudless Sulphur, Variegated Fritillary and Common Buckeye,
three southern immigrants, have all appeared in the state in June.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fiery Skipper was reported in MA on Saturday, 6/30.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It looks like 2012 will be a good year for southern immigrants in CT.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I speculate that the recent storms in the southeastern US may have broken
the drought in that part of the country, resulting in a butterfly population
boom that is leading to these southern immigrants making their north.</DIV>
