--0000000000002dfeb5064ee7a546 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Guilford County - Jamestown Today was sunny with a light wind and a high of 66. I did not expect a lot of butterfly activity but it ended up being very good. The first Monarchs of the year were observed, and one hung around all afternoon, ovipositing on all the emerging milkweed in the area. Hairstreaks were numerous with most on Black Cherry and the highlight was a fresh Eastern Pine Elfin. 4-7 2 Monarch 6 Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 1 Spicebush Swallowtail 1 Zebra Swallowtail 1 Orange Sulphur 3 Juniper Hairstreak - 2 on Black Cherry, 1 landed on Blue Star (Amsonia) 1 Red-banded Hairstreak - Black Cherry 1 Eastern Pine Elfin - Black Cherry 2 Carolina Satyr 3 Juvenal's Duskywing 2 Pearl Crescent 7 Eastern Tailed Blues 1 Eastern Comma 4-6 4 Eastern Tiger Swallowtails 1 Spicebush Swallowtail 2 Zebra Swallowtail 2 Eastern Tailed Blue 3 Pearl Crescents 1 Juvenal's Duskywing --0000000000002dfeb5064ee7a546 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr">Guilford County - Jamestown<div><br></div= ><div>Today was sunny with a light wind and a high of 66.=C2=A0 I did not e= xpect a lot of butterfly activity but it ended up being very good.=C2=A0 Th= e first Monarchs of the year were observed,=C2=A0and one hung around all af= ternoon, ovipositing on all the emerging=C2=A0milkweed in the area.=C2=A0 H= airstreaks were numerous with most on Black Cherry and the highlight was a = fresh Eastern Pine Elfin.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0</div><div><br></= div><div>4-7</div><div><br></div><div>2 Monarch</div><div>6 Eastern Tiger S= wallowtail</div><div>1 Spicebush Swallowtail</div><div>1 Zebra Swallowtail<= /div><div>1 Orange Sulphur</div><div>3 Juniper Hairstreak - 2 on Black Cher= ry, 1 landed on Blue Star (Amsonia)=C2=A0</div><div>1 Red-banded Hairstreak= - Black Cherry</div><div>1 Eastern Pine Elfin - Black Cherry=C2=A0</div><d= iv>2 Carolina=C2=A0Satyr</div><div>3 Juvenal's Duskywing</div><div>2 Pe= arl Crescent</div><div>7 Eastern Tailed Blues</div><div>1 Eastern Comma=C2= =A0</div><div><br></div><div>4-6</div><div><br></div><div>4 Eastern Tiger S= wallowtails</div><div>1 Spicebush Swallowtail</div><div>2 Zebra Swallowtail= </div><div>2 Eastern Tailed Blue</div><div>3 Pearl Crescents</div><div>1 Ju= venal's Duskywing</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div> </div> --0000000000002dfeb5064ee7a546-- |
