Broadview Farm Today

[Laurie Sheppard]

I spent some time at Broadview Farm Conservation Area today and saw more species than any other visit this summer. Numbers have been terribly low and continue to be, but I did find 15 species. I did not do a count because I covered the area more than once over about 90 minutes, but I was pleased to see the following:

Monarch

Viceroy

Great Spangled Fritillary

American Lady

Orange Sulphur

Clouded Sulphur

Cabbage White

Common Ringlet

Eastern Tailed-blue

Least Skipper

Tawny-edged Skipper

Peck's Skipper

Silver-edged Skipper

Crescent species

Common Wood-nymph

Photos of all but the Clouded Sulphur are in iNaturalist at Observations · iNaturalist.
