--000000000000007464065ad9b6cb Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I was looking at the county maps last night, and noticed that Fiery Skipper was "green" in all counties but Greene County, which was red, so I set off for Greene County early this afternoon. I visited Contentnea Creek at the Snow Hill Boating Access Area in Snow Hill, NC. It was cloudy the whole time and in the low 80's. I found a Fiery Skipper right off the bat, and saw 23 species in the time I was there. New for the county were Checkered White and Question Mark. Most of what I saw below turned the map from red to green. There have been almost no reports for the species below since the early 2000's. It was an enjoyable day. My list is below. Good butterflying.
