a beautiful fresh White Admiral, only my second for the state. The first =
was in my yard four years ago. Also I had an amazing five White M =
Hairstreaks nectaring on Clethra alnifolia or Summersweet!! This has =
been a great year for White M at work, with at least two seen evrey =
sunny day for the past two weeks and  always on Clethra.
 
Clethra is a great nectar plant! I have seen many species nectaring on =
this plant recently including: Red-spotted Purple, Tiger Swallowtail, =
Tawny-edged Skipper, Common Ringlet, Silver-spotted Skipper, Dun =
Skipper, Peck's Skipper, Gray Hairstreak, and Cabbage White. What a =
fantastic plant. I highly recommend it.
