Haley Field Trip

[Grkovich, Alex]

Rich, all...
 
Interesting and curious about the Little Glassywing...I observed one (a fresh female) yesterday morning on butterfly bushes in our backyard in Peabody (north suburban Boston), Mass...I was really never aware of the possibility of a second brood this far north...Both "The Butts of Canada" and Opler's Eastern Guide report (paraphrasing) "one brood in the 'North', a second brood in the 'South'..." I would not expect that any part of New England would be referrable to the "South"...
 
Is a September flight of this species "normal", "occasional" etc.???
