Found my first Indian Skippers of the season on the ridge in Sleepy Creek WMA. A couple of tattered Juvenal’s Duskywings, Common Roadside-Skipper and Eastern Tailed-Blue. There also may be some Appalachian Tiger Swallowtails but none of the large Tiger ST’s that I’ve seen on the ridge line have landed for futher investigation. The Indian Skipper below is nectaring on Maiden Pink (Dianthus deltoides). These are the first Indian Skippers I’ve seen in Berkeley County.
