Please mark your calendars for our next butterfly outing on Saturday, August 23rd to Marie Poteat’s property in Jamestown, NC. Of all the triad butterfly reports this year, Marie by far has had the most butterflies. In large part, this is because Marie has spent years reintroducing caterpillar host plants and butterfly nectar plants on what was once her family’s 70-acre+ working farm.

Marie said in an email: “Last year I had the most species of butterflies in mid-August so I think we should plan for August 23rd. Of course, there is no guarantee of what we see, but there should be a lot of swallowtails, skippers, and some hairstreaks, maybe.”

The start time is 9:30 so we can have from 10:00-12:00 to look for butterflies before the main heat of the day.

Parking will be at 1111 Bales Chapel in Jamestown.

Note that no restrooms are available; be sure to make a “pit stop” in town before you continue to the Poteat property. In addition, you will have to bring everything you need, including water, a snack, a folding chair, and a butterfly field guide.

Marie is limiting the number of participants to about 10 – 12 people. If you want to join in on this butterfly walk, you MUST register by contacting her: Marie Poteat <marie.poteat@gmail.com>
