All,
Harry points out a very interesting comparison of skipper lists over a = short east/west distance. Further supporting this, here is my list from = my yard in Alamance County today, which is one more county west of = Orange County:
Cabbage White 2 Cloudless Sulphur 10 Variegated Fritillary 1 Pearl Crescent 1 Painted Lady 1 Common Buckeye 2 Monarch 1 Long-tailed Skipper 1 Common Checkered-Skipper 1 Clouded Skipper 5 Fiery Skipper 11 Sachem 15 Ocola Skipper 3
Cheers, Jeff
