--000000000000c31959065869ce9f Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Guilford County - Jamestown 8-6-2026 Butterfly activity was very good today. The number of species is picking up along with more individuals. A Painted lady was a nice surprise . Humminbird and Snowberry Clearwings are very numerous in all of the flowering areas. Although the Nessus Sphinx is not in the same genus as the clearwings, it is very similar in behavior and size. The one seen today was on the tree with slime flux.
