Nasketucket Bay 7/15/2015

[Michael Newton]

Hello Masslep,

I stopped by Nasketucket Bay State Reservation in Mattapoisett today once the sun started shining.  4:30-5:45pm.

Mountain Mint is just starting to bloom.

Otherwise, the place is in between seasons: Sweet Pepperbush and Smooth Sumac are still a couple of weeks out, at least.

Common Wood Nymph 50+ (fresh)

Little Wood Satyr 8

Red Admiral 5 (fresh)

Painted Lady 2 (fresh)

Orange Sulphur 10+

Clouded Sulphur 2

Fun side note.   Several Common Wood Nymphs were nectaring on Mountain Mint.
