sightings & events

[ButterflyPR at comcast.net]

In my yard this weekend:  a couple of American Ladies, a few Cabbage Whites, a Peck's Skipper and a Tawny Edged Skipper.

Boy, that John Himmelman is a busy guy.  Opened the Main Street News for this week, and there he is again!  Short notice, but on Wednesday June 8, he'll be leading "A 'Mothing' We Will Go:  Moth Talk and Watching Event"  8:30 PM at the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme.  Slide lecture followed by evening of "mothing", i.e. "luring moths out of the sky for temporary examination and study."  The calendar says "Bring a bottle of wine to enjoy under the summer stars. $7, $5 members.  To register, call Matt at 434-5542 ext 111 or email matt at flogris.org, 96 Lyme St., Old Lyme."  Then it says "$7 adults, $6 seniors & students, $4 ages 6-12.  Rain date June 9."  Sounds like fun!

And by now everyone has Field Day, Saturday June 18, on their calendars, right?!
