I spent a wonderful day at Nathaniel Mountain WMA in Hampshire County hoping to re-find the Hoary Edge Skippers that Barry and I first located there two years ago. Came up empty on Hoary Edge but found 27 species with many first of years. The surprise and highlight of the day was Silver-bordered Fritillary. I’ve only seen this in the Appalachian “spine” counties in West Virginia and Maryland and finding one east of the main mountains was exciting. Other FOY’s:
