[Ctleps-l] Recent sightings - Canaan and Naugatuck

[Peter DeGennaro]

7/29 - I stopped briefly at Hollenbeck Preserve and Robbins Swamp in
Canaan on the way to doing some hiking in MA. The second Giant
Swallowtail brood is flying - one seen Page Road and two others at
Robbins Swamp. One was especially tame while puddling; I posted a
photo on the CBA Facebook page.

Some good stuff just over the border in MA: 2-3 Gray Commas, Tawny
Emperor, White Admiral, and many more Giants.
