--000000000000087387065c6de9ad Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I got a late start this afternoon so I visited two nearby spots near Roseboro, NC. The highlights were 3 Monarchs, 1 Painted Lady, and 1 Southern Skipperling. The 3 Monarchs were probably the most I've seen in one day all year. The Painted Lady is always a good find. The skipperling is a Sampson County record. I have two lists below, one for each of the two spots I visited. Good butterflying. *SR 1292 (Dixie Rd.) at SR 1365 (Old Hwy NC 24), next to NC 24* Sleepy Orange 3 Cloudless Sulphur 1 Gray Hairstreak 1 Eastern Tailed-Blue 1 Variegated Fritillary 15 Common Buckeye 16 Pearl Crescent 1 Long-tailed Skipper 1 Silver-spotted Skipper 6 common checkered-skipper 10 Fiery Skipper 26 Whirlabout 1 Eufala Skipper 1 Clouded Skipper 5 Ocola Skipper 4 *SR 1361 (Water Treatment Rd.), next to NC 24* Sleepy Orange 12 Cloudless Sulphur 4 Eastern Tailed-Blue 1 Monarch 3 Variegated Fritillary 14 Painted Lady 1 Common Buckeye 28 Pearl Crescent 8 Silver-spotted Skipper 8 common checkered-skipper 30 Fiery Skipper 18 Clouded Skipper 3 Southern Skipperling 1 Ocola Skipper 3 Mike Turner Fayetteville, NC --000000000000087387065c6de9ad Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>I got a late start this afternoon so I visited two ne= arby spots near Roseboro, NC.
