Hi All
Ten people attended the CBS and Friends of the Sandhills NWR field trip 10AM-2PM Sunday 29 April 2007. The weather was excellent but the diversity
and numbers of butterflies were low probably because of low rainfall and
lack of nectar plants. The only nectar source was blackberry thickets. We had the
following:
Zebra Swallowtail-1(seen after field trip was over),
E. Tiger Swallowtail-6+,
Spicebush Swallowtail-2,
Palamedes Swallowtail-4,
Cloudless Sulfur-3,
Azure sp.-2,
Variegated Fritillary-2
American Lady-10+,
Common Buckeye-10+,
Red-spotted Purple-1,
Silver-spotted Skipper-4,
Southern Cloudywing-6,
Northern Cloudywing-1,
unidentified skipper-1
