[Ctleps-l] Recent Leps

I spent some time in Salmon River State Forest recently. Little Wood-satyr, Great-spangled Fritillary, and Dark morph Eastern Tiger swallowtail were abundant. Every little floating brown butterfly I saw turned out to be a satyr. I must have counted 30 or 40 of them.

Also, in Trumbull recently, several dozen pearl crescents and azures were the only lep active on an overcast, rainy day along the Pequonnock river.

Came home from a camping trip & discovered I'd had a visitor to my pipevine--found approximately 25 eggs!

At Stratford Point, Wed, 10 July 13, around 5 Monarchs in fields with much Common Milkweed and Butterfly Weed
--reporting because Monarchs are so few so far this season.

I left for work at about 5 pm today..friday ..and spotted an orange 
butterfly..either a Monarch or a Viceroy...flying fast. Couldnt stop to chase 
it...was running late..but I'm thinking Monarch because I never have Viceroys 
here. Tomorrow I will scan the neighborhood..
