5/8/26 Myles Standish State Forest

[Andrew Griffith]

I took a LONG walk through various trails in Myles Standish today in search of a frosted elfin.  It was in the low 60's and sunny with really not much breeze.  

I have big doubts that I saw a frosted, even though inaturalist is saying one of my hoary elfins is a frosted.  It is certainly possible, but it doesn't jump out at me as a frosted.  

I did, however, run into elfinpalooza out there today.  They were everywhere.  

100+ Azures

50+ Eastern Pine Elfins

50+ Brown Elfins

30+ Hoary Elfins

3 American Ladys

6 Juvenal's Duskywings

4 Sleepy Duskywings

Oddly no American Coppers or Eastern tailed blues, but I wasn't really in their usual locations.  Also still waiting on that first Pearl Crescent.  Thought I had one, but it was an orange moth of some sort.
