Burma Rd (Fowl Meadow), Milton

[Mark Rosenstein]

Today I visited Burma Rd, later in the season than I usually go there. 
I was curious what it looked like, and hopeful that I might turn up a
Northern Pearly-eye.  I don't recommend going there now.  Mosquitoes
were thicker than I have ever seen before. Using deet kept them off me,
but the cloud around my head obscured my vision.

Pearl Crescent, Phyciodes tharos: 1
Monarch, Danaus plexippus: 1

I also stopped by Arnold Arboretum where I walked some of the southern
areas and Bussey Hill. It was a little more interesting (and less buggy).
