Euro skip

[Greg Hanisek]

Given that they're always very common, has anyone else noticed European skippers being super-abundant in the past week. I'm finding them in all kinds of marginal areas like the edges of wetlands, and in a couple of small dry fields on either side of a road in Middlebury (c half-acre total) I was so impressed with the numbers I roughly counted and got a conservative 1,500!! They were on Lotus corniculatus and Viccia sp. In some case they were pushing each other off individual flowers.
    Also had Painted Skimmers at a wet meadow in Middlebury.
