------=_Part_80442_1031708015.1779888816963 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_80443_274356771.1779888816963" ------=_Part_80443_274356771.1779888816963 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I joined Steve Moore and Barbara Volkle yesterday for a trip to Montague Sand Plains. Conditions were good: warm (mid to high 80s, I believe), mostly sunny and not much wind. On our way, on Route 2, we saw two Tiger Swallowtails flying by, and when we arrived, we saw: 20+ Duskywing (sp) 1 Indian Skipper 10 Cobweb Skipper 3 Eastern Tailed-blue 2 Dusted Skipper 4 American Copper 10 Clouded Sulphur 1 Cabbage White 1 Spicebush Swallowtail 1 Monarch 4 Pearl Crescent 1 Gray Hairstreak The biggest concentration of duskywings was at the parking area, and I tried to get photos of as many as I could; Steve identified one or more as a Horace's Duskywing, as well as Sleepy, Dreamy and Wild Indigo Duskywing; although almost all of the ones I was able to photograph appear to be Juvenal's Duskywing. I'll be posting to iNat later today, hoping to get firmer ID on a handful of duskywing photos.
