Broad Meadow Brook, Worcester -- 5/31/26

[kstei...@aol.com]

The weather was not great for butterflies today -- cool, breezy, and cloudy with intermittent showers -- but a quick trip to the Powerline Trail at Mass Audubon's BMB yielded:

Clouded Sulphur - 2

Question Mark - very relaxed individual, giving me long, close looks at its "punctuation"

Red Admiral

Viceroy

Zabulon skippers - 2

Plus a dark, smaller butterfly with a ragged flight pattern, flying fairly low in the vegetation, that I couldn't get a good look at.
