Banded Hairstreak
Great Spangled Fritillary
It was a beautiful day to be out, with temperatures of 75-80 and very little to no wind. This area is excellent for Great Spangled Fritillaries and Banded Hairstreaks. Normally, one can also see a couple of swallowtail species and a Question Mark or two, but these species have been scarce this year.
