Hi All,

My husband, Ben, and I took his dad up to the Commissary Trail on Mt. Mitch=
ell on Friday to do my survey route. It was a cool day (starting at 57F) an=
d partly cloudy when we started, so I didn=E2=80=99t know if we would get a=
ny butterflies. However, we had several pockets of sunshine and a very nice=
hike once we warmed up. Ben spotted the two Green Commas that we definitiv=
ely ID=E2=80=99d, and the second one hung out for a bit <https://urldefense=

ng incidentals:

Eastern Tiger ST, 1
