Question Mark
Little Yellow
I was surprised by the early season Little Yellow. First Question Marks I’ve found at this location, and European Skippers were everywhere. About 20 would jump up every step I took on the prairie trails. A humid and mostly cloudy day, 80s. Noon to 1pm, and again 4:30 to 5pm.
