Aaron's Skipper

Hi, Although not in SE PA I have a new butterfly to show you. My son and I went to Bombay Hook NWR just north east of Dover, Delaware. Yes where they have the car races, like tomorrow. Bombay sits on the Delaware river/bay and has a series of dikes to keep water at the level the management desires. Water levels vary at different times of year in the impoundments for particular needs throughout the year. Seasonal changes and migration are the biggest factors for the changes and work quite well. Anyway on our last impoundment, the road edge, had a large area of blooming Common Milkweed and the only butterfly seen here were two dozen plus Aaron's Skippers. With very windy and sunny conditions there were few other butterflies seen, so these were a special treat. Here is a picture of them. Have a good day, Denis
