<font color="black" size="2" face="arial">8/21 - Before scouting Osbornedale State Park for Saturday's field trip, my father and I stopped at my grandfather's (who's one of the people who got me into nature stuff) grave at St. Peter's Cemetery in Derby (off Rte 34). Just before leaving, I walked about 100ft down the road and found 2 male and 1 female LITTLE YELLOWS on the sandy embankment among ragweed. Lots of the host plant too.
<div>Here's a photo of a male: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/connecticutpete/7835246356/in/photostream/" style="font-size: 10pt; ">http://www.flickr.com/photos/connecticutpete/7835246356/in/photostream/</a></div>
