IM approximately At 46N 72W.  Maple tree forest (Acer, Ulmus, Fraxinus,
Prunus, Tilia, and many coniferous). No wind, no clouds, Temperature 17 °C.
The location is in the middle between Trois-Rivières and Quebec City, on the

The Mourning Cloak will fly soon.... Last years, it was the sooner butterfly
season I never saw. But this years, its more soon....
