--000000000000e8104f0660178ec0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" This might be the LAST "warm" day in the NC Piedmont for 2026 to expect to see many butterflies, as starting tomorrow we have a string of days with high temps in the 50s and 60s and lows in the 30s. I went to the remote State Fair parking lot near Schenck Forest this morning, mostly for birding, but the temps reached 57-58 degrees by 930 in the sun and I did see: Common Buckeye 1 Common Checkered-Skipper 3 Fiery Skipper 1 SOUTHERN SKIPPERLING 1 As many as 13-14 were seen here earlier in the fall There are a few later records into November in the county for Southern Skipperling, as the species is not unexpected in NC in this month. But, it might well be the last one I see this year.
