Duskywings at Sleepy Creek WMA

During lunch today I slipped over to the Sleepy Creek WMA in Berkeley County. It was still rather cool but the butterflies couldn’t wait to be out implying that they’ve had enough of this cold, windy spring. The first lep seen on the road leading into Sleepy Creek was a first of year Sleepy Duskywing (Erynnis brizo). Seems appropriate right? This species is fond of Oaks especially Scrub Oak. Also seen were Juvenal’s Duskywing (4) (Erynnis juvenalis), azures (5), a FOY Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) and a male Falcate Orangetip (Anthocharis midea).
