Cabbage White

Amer. Copper

Buckeye
American Snout
Red Spotted Purple

Viceroy
Monarch Lots of these guys. Bodes well fo the CBA Monarch tagging day Sept 20
Common Wood Nymph
Silver Spotted Skipper
Least, Pecks, Tawny Edge, Long Dash, Ocola Skipper
Lots of Amer Ladies and Monarchs were seen. Many of the butterflies were in 
perfect condition. The Long Dash was a tough sell but after much study(we did 
capture and box it) it was a unanimous decision. the butterfly was released 
after I/D was confirmed. Glassberg does state that there is a small brood in Aug. 
Sept. Curious if there have been any other sightings of Long Dash this late 
in the season.
