Folks,
Today I spent about 15 minutes looking for leps on a patch of Colic
Root (*Aletris
farinosa*) in a field at Coweeta Hydrologic Lab in Macon County, which in
the past attracted Aphrodite Fritillary. Came up with the following:

Great Spangled Fritillary
<https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/368140284> - 2
Pearl Crescent - 1
Summer Azure - 3
Silver-spotted Skipper - 20
Juvenal's Duskywing (worn) - 1
Peck's Skipper <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/368140183> - 1
Zabulon Skipper - 1

Later at my home, saw the following; most were nectaring on lavender and
Butterfly Weed:

Great Spangled Fritillary - 2
Summer Azure - 2
Hoary Edge <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/368139678> - 1
Silver-spotted Skipper - 2
Clouded Skipper <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/368139462> - 1

Cheers,
Jason Love
Otto, NC
