Tagged 14 Monarchs at Hammo today (everyone thought I was the guy in the
Courant article, despite the fact I'm obviously way younger and handsomer
than him). This was the 2nd time I went there and saw two males grappling
on the ground (monarchs, that is - there was a young couple grappling in the
parking lot, but I think they were doing something different...). They were
both so intent on their struggle, I picked them up and slapped a couple tags
on them without interrupting whatever it is they were doing. (I did the
same with the monarchs, too) They were still at it when I put them back
amongst the flowers.
Also -
1 very fresh-looking Mourning Cloak
4 Common Buckeyes
Many American Ladies
Many Orange Sulphurs
Many Clouded Sulphurs
1 possible Orange/Clouded hybrid
Lots of those white cabbagey ones
1 Ocola Skipper
And about 10 Snowberry Clearwings (bumblebee moths)
