I was on the Long Island coast today and noticed the activity. Of those Painted Ladies that I saw on the move, they were heading north. Probably saw a few coming in off the ocean. I do recall seeing one land on the beach. This is probably the second day of this movement. At mid-day, I got an e-mail from a friend, who mentioned having 10 in his back yard yesterday in inland Nassau County. That prompted me to look around at Jones Beach. I got about 25 in one small area with a lot of knapweed. I got smaller numbers elsewhere, but they were everywhere. And still some heading north. </div><div class="yiv8506073293MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501550240137_35107"> </div><div class="yiv8506073293MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501550240137_35110">My first thought was that this is an unexpected time of year for northward migration of Vanessa species. I think that’s something I’ve usually seen in April or May. There were a few Painted Ladies around all along, and by now we could certainly have their offspring hatching out. By my observations and the coastal concentrations (such as at Jones Beach and Stratford Point) point to an influx from points south.</div><div class="yiv8506073293MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501550240137_35108"> </div><div class="yiv8506073293MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501550240137_35109"> </div><div class="yiv8506073293MsoNormal">Steve Walter</div><div class="yiv8506073293MsoNormal">Bayside, NY </div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Ctleps-l mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Ctleps-l@mailman.yale.edu" href="mailto:Ctleps-l@mailman.yale.edu" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501550240137_35899">Ctleps-l@mailman.yale.edu</a><br><a href="http://mailman.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/ctleps-l" target="_blank" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501550240137_35900">http://mailman.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/ctleps-l</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
