Despite the near drought (again), the Fiery Skippers and Southern Skipperlings are doing well. Here is what I saw for a bit over an hour in midday at 1) NC Museum of Art flower bed next to the parking lot, 2) the zinnias at the Museum parking lot north entrance, and 3) the Bandwidth flower beds and nearby white clover patch by Schenck Forest.
