[Ctleps-l] Monarchs later in the summer

[David Cappaert]

All - This year, as I did last, I will mark and release monarchs, part of
Monarch Watch, and as a project for 1st grade.. We're a public school, so
can't really venture out to the best locations for trapping in the wild. So
my plan is to rear monarchs in a large enclosure, with the aim of having
dozens or more in Sept/Oct. I'm out of town until 18 Jul, but anytime after
that I'll be grateful for anyone that can point me to good sites for adults,
larvae, or eggs.

Hi Diane - I had a Cloudless Sulphur in my yard (Killingworth) on Saturday.
So don't rule them out.

Hope I'm using the correct address this time, just bounced one back...

Took a drive this afternoon, mostly to seek Monarch eggs.  Quickly found a
dozen or so, then took a walk around the loop, despite increasingly ominous
skies.  Made it back to my car just as the rain started! 

Definite sightings:
Monarch--about 20?
American Copper--25+ Thought I saw a similar sized blue flying around with
them, but didn't get a good look.  Netted a small beige butterfly--possibly
an extremely worn copper or azure?
Baltimore Checkerspot-1! 
Orange Sulphur--guessing about a dozen--not sure whether there was also
Clouded--the big question, when I first arrived, I saw one that looked
significantly larger than the others and somewhat chartreuse in color.  Is
there ANY chance that Cloudless could be here now??
American Lady--a few definite
Red Admiral--a few definite 
(several fly-bys that could have been either Vanessa)
Spicebush Swallowtail--1
Anglewing sp.--1
