Southern migrants

[Netherton]

Dear Friends
I am a new user of this list, and would like to report some possible
migrants in Western NC. I do not know off hand the binomials of Butterflies,
being more of a Botanist and Herpetologist, so will use Common names, and
hope not to offend anyone.
I have been seeing a few Cloudless Giant Sulphurs around flowers in my
garden, also Little Yellow and Sleepy Orange. These usually do not appear
around here until late Summer to early Fall. I have Feiry Skippers in my
garden now, and Sachems have been in the area most of the summer. If anyone
needs data on Western NC, please let me know.
