some unusual records

[Don Riepe]

     Hi...Fiery and sachem skippers were very abundant "down" here at the 
     Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Brooklyn/Queens, NYC. On our annual 
     late summer count on Sept. 12, we had 41 fiery and 104 sachem 
     skippers, 28 cloudless sulphurs, 3 red-banded hairstreaks, 3 checkered 
     skippers  and 2 ocola skippers!
     
     Be on the lookout for a late wave of southern strays...unless Floyd 
     puts a damper on things, or conversely, brings some more up with "him" 
     !

I saw several males on Buddleia at Compo Beach in Westport over 
the weekend.  Also, a Phoebis sennae flew straight at me there 
and I grabbed it with my hand (no joke!).

People seem to be reporting Catocala with a bit more regularity 
now in later August and September.  Flushed a C. parta from the 
side of a school building in Westport yesterday.
     
And now for something really different...
     
On 30 July 1999, on flowers in her yard on Livingston Street
in New Haven, Linda Lindroth captured a male of Morpho peleides 
ssp. montezuma!  It's in a display case with her now.  No 
butterfly houses for dozens and dozens of miles, of course. 
(This will probably be one of the odder records in the
five years of the Connecticut Butterfly Atlas Project).
