Butterflies 5/02

[Clay Taylor]

Hi All -

    Had a chance to cruise the coast this morning, looking for The Godwit (no luck), but saw numerous Am. Ladys (Ladies?) - at least one at virtually every stop.  Mixed Cabbage Whites and Clouded Sulphurs at a lot of locations, but I didn't see any Orange Sulphurs.

    Had Juvenal's Duskywings along Rt. 82 between East Haddam and Salem, and one in my yard.  Also in the yard were a Spring Azure, another Am. Lady, my first Eastern Tiger Swallowtail of the year, and a flyby lep that had to be an Elfin.  Unfortunately, it never landed, so I couldn't confirm what would have been the first Elfin ever for my yard list!  I hope to hit Wapowog Road tomorrow to see if the Columbine Duskywings are flying.
