Eastern Tiger Swallowtail</div><div>Cabbage White</div><div>Clouded Sulphur</div><div>Orange Sulphur</div><div>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.</div>
<div>Summer Azure</div><div>Great Spangled Fritillary</div><div>Aphrodite Fritillary -- the latest we've seen one here.</div><div>Pearl Crescent</div><div>Viceroy</div><div>Common Ringlet</div><div>Silver-spotted Skipper</div>
<div>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.</div><div>Least Skipper -- pristine second brood individuals</div>
<div>Peck's Skipper</div><div>Tawny-edged Skipper</div><div><br></div><div>Peary and BK</div></div></div>
