NW corner leps, 4/20

[Fiore & Wallstrom]

On what we think is called "Tom's Hill", immediately south of the 
CT/Mass. line in Weatogue, Litchfield County, we observed a Mourning 
Cloak chase a Tree Swallow for a minute or so, & right over the 
swallow's nest-box, at that!

Our lep. list for the afternoon in Weatogue:

Psychomorpha epimenis (Grapevine Epimenis) 1
Lomographa semiclarata (Bluish Spring Moth) 1

(sorry moth-ers, that's all the ID'd moths, out of 100's of individuals 
of multiple spp.)

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 1
Eastern Pine Elfin  3 on White Pine, together & one being chased a bit 
by M. Cloak
Spring Azure 6
Eastern Comma 1
Mourning Cloak 6
