10/6/25, Berkshire County

[Gael Hurley]

I spent the weekend and today looking for either of the tortoiseshells, Mustard Whites, Gray Comma or anything that would be more likely here than other parts of the state. I found virtually nothing at October Mountain and Mt. Greylock; there were 4 Clouded Sulphurs and an Eastern Tailed-Blue at October Mountain on 10/5 and 5 Clouded Sulphurs and a Viceroy at Mt. Greylock today. On the way home I stopped at an agricultural field on Summer St. in Lanesborough were I had Variegated Frits a few years ago. There was one, possibly a second along with 15-20 Cabbage Whites, a similar number of Clouded Sulphurs, and 3 Orange Sulphurs.
