Good day in Green Ridge State Forest

I finally ventured out this afternoon in search of butterflies. The temperature was in the lower 70’s and the Sun was shining. I found 5 species comprised of 15 individuals. The Mourning Cloaks (5) and Eastern Comma‘s (7) were not unexpected but the Summer Azure “Spring Brood” (1), Question Mark (1) and a winter form Sleepy Orange (1) made the day. I’m so glad it’s starting to warm up.
