Year first skippers Guilford CT

[Dale Roberts/Bill Yule]

Flying today-
Peck's Skipper (Polites peckius)
Tawny-edged Skipper (Polites themistocles)

And for those with the dragon-eye the following first dragonflies-

Spiney Baskettail (Epitheca spinigera)...Had to net it and study those "nasy bits", er excuse me I mean "terminal appendages" to separate it from Beaverpond Baskettail.

Ashy Clubtail (Gomphus lividus)... Again had to net it to see the concave shape between the eyes to be sure I didn't have a Dusky Clubtail that sometimes has a yellow spot on the 9th abdomenal segment.
