We saw a Variegated Fritillary, as well as some others. When I saw the sun peeking through this afternoon, I decided to go back and see if I could see a fritillary or maybe even a Common Checkered Skipper. I spent 1.5 hours there, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm. Conditions were calm, mostly cloudy and low 70s. There were still many many Cabbage White, Clouded and Orange Sulphur. In all, I saw: 5+ Variegated Fritillary 1 Bronze Copper 2 Eastern Tailed-blue 1 Monarch 40+ Orange Sulphur 40+ Clouded Sulphur 40+ Cabbage White I saw the first Variegated Fritillary within five minutes of my arrival, nectaring on some clover near the edge of a field. I took some pictures until it flew off and I saw a second individual flying nearby, then spotted the Bronze Copper. I stayed in the same two fields the entire time and managed to get quite a few photos. Between color and size variations and visible wing damage, I'm pretty sure there were at the very least 5-6 individuals, but could have been as many as 10 in all. Lisa and I plan to go back on Saturday, if anyone wants to join us let me know (not sure of when we'll be going).
