A Sunny morning with cool temps kept lep activity very slow; just as it started to pick up around noon cloudy skies moved in and slowed things down once again. Major nectar sources included Summer Farewell, Bidens alba, Carphephorus spp., Liatris spp., and Coastal Plain Honeycombhead. Leps were spooked easily today and getting photos of them was difficult.
