Good afternoon butterfliers!

I ran my Carolinas Butterfly Monitoring Program route at Schenck Forest
today, and while the route itself only yielded 3 species and 8 individuals,
I picked up a lot of incidentals at a Bandwidth HQ flower garden and a
large field south of the building (typically used for state fair parking).
Here is my full list:

- *Checkered White <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/389381326>*
- 3 - lifer
- Cabbage White - 3
- Orange Sulphur - 1


- Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - 6


- Eastern Tailed-Blue - 4


- Monarch <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/389380691> - 3
- Common Buckeye - 22 - most I've seen all year
- Variegated Fritillary - 1


- Common Checkered-Skipper - 7
- Fiery Skipper - 21
- Clouded Skipper - 1
- *Southern Skipperling*
<https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/389381263> - 1 - FOY (finally)

Good butterflying,
Ryan Chaffee
