--000000000000f3f3de0653e65d8b Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Folks, Yesterday I spent about 15 minutes looking for leps on the Needmore Game Lands in Swain County after picking up water samples in the Little Tennessee River for our microplastics research. Rainy day, but the sun popped out in the late afternoon and the butterflies started flying. Found the following: Diana Fritillary <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/370166633> - 1 (FOY; male; fresh) Great Spangled Fritillary - 1 Pearl Crescent - 3 Common Buckeye - 3 Silver-spotted Skipper - 4 Wild Indigo Duskywing - 2 (2 observations in iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/370170042; https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/370169740) Little Glassywing - 3 (2 observations in iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/370169375; https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/370166953) Also picked up a Blue-ringed Dancer damselfly, which I also submitted to iNaturalist.
