[Ctleps-l] Haddam Meadows

[butterflypr at comcast.net]

I was disappointed not to get to Machimoodus this morning! Still needed more milkweed for my caterpillars, so popped up to Haddam Meadows late afternoon. Raining when I left home, but sunny when I arrived!

Quite a few Monarchs flying, at least a dozen, some ovipositing. Gathered a few eggs and a couple caterpillars. Did NOT gather a late instar that was hanging out in poison ivy!

Also saw:
3 Tiger Swallowtails
3 Spicebush Swallowtails
2 Cabbage Whites
At least 10 Pearl Crescents
2-3 Peck’s Skippers
3-4 Silver Spotted Skippers
2 Anglewing sp—was able to photograph one, appeared to be Eastern Comma

Also a couple of Hummingbirds, hanging out on jewelweed.

Hoping the remaining field trips this month will get better weather!
