Good evening butterfliers,

Today, Jeff Pippen and I went to Holly Shelter Game Land, where Jeff co-led
a walk with the NC Native Plant Society - SE Coastal Chapter! The walk was
very successful, finding lots of carnivorous plants and pine
flatwood/savannah specialists. Afterwards, Jeff and I explored the game
land briefly before unfortunately getting rained out in the afternoon. Here
is our list:

- Palamedes Swallowtail - *89*
