Clouded Skipper
Excited to find a Clouded Skipper in my center back garden. Although rare for the area - none had been seen since 2014. This year since mid-September there have been a few individual’s seen around Cape May County, NJ. #45 species for my yard for 2019 and #55 species for past 6 years. Still have many buckeye caterpillar on snapdragons. Plus Black Swallowtail and Monarch cats on their host plants. I also have chrysalis from Spicebush Swallowtail, BS, CB, and Red-spotted Purple. Sunny, low 70’s with winds about 13 MPH.
