Butterfliers,

After running a survey route with a Carolinas Butterfly Monitoring =
Program volunteer in Boiling Spring Lakes, I headed to the Juniper Creek =
Game Land. Here=E2=80=99s the list!

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, 2
Palamedes Swallowtail, 15
Sleepy Orange, 2
Hessel=E2=80=99s Hairstreak, 1, missing half its hindwings!
Holly Azure, 3, presumed to be Holly Azure, but cannot rule out Summer =
Azure for some or all
Variegated Fritillary, 3, very small and pale
American Lady, 1
Common Buckeye, 1

I was surprised by the lack of duskywings!

On Saturday, 3/28, I briefly stopped by The Nature Conservancy=E2=80=99s =
Green Swamp Preserve. It was windy and cool, and the only butterflies I =
saw were a few Palamedes Swallowtail. But the dragonflies were in huge =
numbers with estimates of 25 Ornate Pennants and over 1500 Blue =
Corporals!

Good Butterflying,
Jeff
