Same place, same area covered. Better numbers of the species that should have peaked earlier in the month. Interesting seeing Pine Elfin and Red-banded Hairstreak together. I don’t think I’ve done that before. I only looked for butterflies once between these outings. A picture from that trip, in search of West Virginia White, can be seen at my web site on the butterfly page <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.stevewalternature.com_&d=AwMFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=wPbNkt6T_H4X7m_PlvSFCGU2a9-csNvfRK2IVMi-mp0&m=KWY-_yS0jluhr2Qc5EzvNULLPk3dMcBQqHbh0SAcob8&s=TmBnQIcz2jECP091SoA5P_W3tZyGSti8HalVH9ONnT8&e=">http://www.stevewalternature.com/</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1 Black Swallowtail<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1 E.
