--000000000000f20b3e063bc7356a Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Great lists! I assume you folks down there haven't gotten your 3-4 days of gloom and doom -- temps in the 60s to low 70s, cloudy all day, and rain or drizzle -- yet. Probably 90% of us haven't been able to even think about butterflying since last Saturday. Based on what I see on The Weather Channel, you folks around Charleston will completely avoid any of this crap we are dealing with, even over the next few days. Lucky, I guess. Even today in Raleigh, still another day of light rain, 60s at 1000 am, and hoping for no more flooding. At least, the windows are open, and no A/C needed -- at least that is the only plus here.=F0=9F=98=86 Harry LeGrand Raleigh On Thu, Aug 7, 2025 at 9:51=E2=80=AFAM <dallen5...> wrote: > Francis Marion National Forest, Berkely County, SC, Road 212: first 150 y= ds > going north from its end at Highway 45 > August 6, 2025. 1130 am-1240 pm. > Dennis and Wendy Allen > > Black Swallowtail 4 > Palamedes Swallowtail 3 > Cloudless Sulphur 2 > Little Yellow 11 (one white form) > Gray Hairstreak 1 > Red-banded Hairstreak 1 > Little Metalmark 6 > Pearl Crescent 2 > Common Buckeye 1 > Horace's Duskywing 6 > Zarucco Duskywing 1 > Swarthy Skipper 2 > Clouded Skipper 6 > Crossline Skipper 3 > Southern Broken-Dash 9 > Little Glassywing 4 > Delaware Skipper 3 > Byssus Skipper 3 > Yehl Skipper 4 > Dun Skipper 2 > Reversed Roadside Skipper 1 > Twin-spot Skipper 1 > unidentified/worn skippers 3 > > Thousands of yellow rosinweed flowers were being used by all of the liste= d > species except Little Yellows.
