August 28. A friend's garden in Northfield, MA 

1 big beautiful Great Spangled Fritillary 

1 Peck's Skipper

2 Grass skippers, very worn. One of them might have been Tawny-edged?

August 30.  Insect walk at the Bog in Carlisle.  Alan Ankers may have a more complete list, but it was a pretty good day for insects in general--numbers having been so low all summer.

2 Silver-bordered Fritillary

1 Gray Hairstreak

1 White M - and it was gorgeous.  Very fresh, the dorsal side flashing a brilliant blue.     Everyone "oohed and ahhed"!

1 Monarch

1 cabbage white

1-2 Clouded Sulphurs

1 American Lady

1 unidentified skipper

Both days the weather was sunny and in the 70's.
