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
