--0000000000002d0f0b06214fcef3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT I went back to Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh for about an hour from about 1230-130. This was my first visit since the massive 5" rains a few days ago, and differences were very noticeable. NO spreadwing skippers for maybe my first time ever there! Here is my list, on a mostly cloudy and "cool" day, temps around 76-78 (i.e, about 8-10 degrees below normal): Pipevine Swallowtail 5 Black Swallowtail 1 male Sleepy Orange 3 Cloudless Sulphur 5 Cabbage White 4 Red-banded Hairstreak *5 *definitely a new brood; usually 0-1 Monarch 1 Variegated Fritillary 2 Common Buckeye 12 Pearl Crescent 4 Fiery Skipper 125+ Sachem 3 Eufala Skipper 1 Clouded Skipper 2 Ocola Skipper 5 probably the most I've seen here in 2024; fresh, new brood I cannot believe I saw no Silver-spotteds, no Horace's, etc. No Common Checkereds. I could easily overlook the last, but the first two are gimmes there at least through August, and often into September. Obviously, they are in a dip between broods in the garden right now.
