On Saturday, 7/23, 18 people joined me for a 2 hour Carolina Butterfly
Society walk around Reynolda Gardens of Wake Forest University. Not a
cloud in the sky, no breeze, temperatures already in the low 80s. Since
almost everyone was a novice, we mostly strolled around the butterfly
bushes where we could stand in the shade and even sit on some brick steps
and wall and let the butterflies meander by us. We also took a 25 minute
walk around the rest of the gardens. In total we saw;
1 Black Swallowtail
12 Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
2 Spicebush Swallowtail
4 Cabbage White
5 Clouded Sulphur
1 Cloudless Sulphur
2 Sleepy Orange
10 ETB
2 Azure
1 Snout
6 Great Spangled Fritillary
3 Pearl Crescent
7 American Lady
1 Painted Lady
1 Buckeye
3 Hackberry Emperor
1 Monarch
20 Silver-Spotted Skipper
1 Hayhurst Scallopwing
3 Horaces Duskywing
Sachem hopping around to much to try to count
