--000000000000dc9bae06520b25df Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Nice finds Matthew. We need to butterfly together some time. I have been at Sassafrass a few times, but usually I go to Blue Wall Preserve on the northeast flank of 3212' Hogback Mountain in Greenville County near home. Butterflied there many dozens of times and hiked to or near the mountain top over a dozen times. I'm pretty sure I have recorded Orange Sulphur, Red-spotted Purple, Silvery Checkerspot, Pearl Crescent, and Juvenal=E2=80=99s Duskywing many times. Not sure about Painted Lady. = Red-spotted Purple, Pearl Crescent, and Juvenal=E2=80=99s Duskywing (early spring) have= been among the most common species.
