<div dir="ltr">Hey all,<div><br></div><div>Went to check out this area again as most reports are from April and May, and it has a lot of odonate potential. I was not disappointed there. Butterflies were spotty as it was mostly cloudy the whole time (despite the forecast).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Eastern Tiger Swallowtail</div><div>Cabbage White</div><div>Frosted Elfin - 2 (very late, I have a picture of one of them)</div><div>American Copper - 1</div><div>Redspotted Purple</div><div>Pearl Crescent</div>
<div>Red Admiral - 1</div><div>American Lady - 3</div><div>Little Wood Satyr</div><div>Peck's Skipper</div><div>Tawny-edged Skipper</div><div>Long Dash - 1</div><div>Indian Skipper - 1</div><div>Dusted Skipper - 5</div>
<div>Zabulon Skipper - 1</div><div>Hobomok Skipper</div><div>European Skipper - 1 (vanguard of the horde I guess)</div><div>Southern Cloudywing (with white hindwing fringe)</div><div>Juvenal's Duskywing (beat to heck)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Odonates were dense... top abundance species are first:</div><div>Chalk-fronted Corporal</div><div>Lancet Clubtail</div><div>Common Baskettail</div><div>Dot-tailed Whiteface</div><div>Eastern Pondhawk</div>
<div>Spangled Skimmer</div><div>Widow Skimmer</div><div>Calico Pennant</div><div>Blue Dasher (first 2 of the horde)</div><div>Common Whitetail</div><div>Painted Skimmer</div><div>12-spotted Skimmer</div><div>Slaty Skimmer</div>
<div>Stream Cruiser</div><div>Green Darner</div><div>Black-shouldered Spinyleg - 1</div><div>Delta-spotted Spiketail - 1</div><div>Orangey meadowhawk type thing - several</div><div><br></div><div>Also a larger sized Lancet-like clubtail (relatively, but not a large gomphid) was flying, but I cannot ID them very well yet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There were lots of the immature/female colored clear winged Libellula skimmers which are tough to ID. Some were large and others were smaller. Only the Spangleds were IDable without netting. 12-spotted was IDed by male, Slaty by a blue male, and Painted/Widow are easy. The large Libellula could be Great Blue, but I don't know the range of these southern Libellula up here yet.</div>
