The weather was cloudless and with little wind -- perfect for butterflies and sunburns! Here is my list, which includes roadside plants along the dirt portion of this road: Black Swallowtail 1 male; E. Tiger and others possibly between broods? Orange Sulphur 3 Cabbage White 25 checked all for Checkereds, but no luck; however, did see much of its host plant pepperweed (Lepidium) along roadsides Gray Hairstreak 1 fresh E. Tailed-Blue 1 female Monarch 2 low? Hundreds of Common and Butterfly milkweeds in bloom; hundreds more vegetative Variegated Fritillary 30 American Lady 8 Common Buckeye 8 Silver-spotted Skipper 3 Fiery Skipper 1 Dun Skipper 1 DION SKIPPER 1 I tend to see one here each late May or June, but always nice in Wake Harry LeGrand Raleigh --000000000000da296e0636ad26c1 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>This morning I birded and butterflied along Mid-Pines= Road south of Raleigh, and waited until after 9:30 for it to be warm enoug= h to check out the long stretch of milkweed planting=C2=A0at the Agro-Ecolo= gy=C2=A0Farm.
