--00000000000052bc9a063eb89c15 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Outstanding to find BOTH a Brazilian Skipper and a Painted Lady on the same day, and the first is about the 3rd adult I recall for NC in 2025. Never hurts to also see a Long-tailed Skipper. It's been about 3+ years since NC has had a modest "outbreak" of Brazilian Skippers, but in some years the peak number of reports isn't until October. So, still plenty of time for others to see one somewhere.
