Yesterday I visited Haddam Meadows S.P.  It was a bit breezy, not much flying in the center area.

Definite sightings:
10-12 Cabbage Whites
3 Tiger Swallowtails
1 Grapevine Epimenis

unsure:
1 Lady sp.--tried to get a closer look, but it vanished
1 large dark butterfly, sort of shiny blue on top--I was thinking Red Spotted Purple, but now that Rich has mentioned Pipevines, I'm not sure

Also in relation to what Rich wrote--I have had a Spicebush chrysalis since last fall.  I had two--one merged during the warm spell in November.  The other spent the winter in my garage and still looks...green.  How might I know if it is viable?  Just wait a bit longer?

p.s. for anyone who might be interested--I also found the Butterfly Angel letterbox at Haddam Meadows :-)
