IT IS A VERY SLOW SPRING IE Cold Damp

Hi and welcome back again. It is and has been a very slow cold spring and as looking over past years first sightings and dates my observation are confirmed. It is slow most everywhere in our tri-state or even quad-state area by reports mostly on the Internet. Southern New Jersey has a great group from Stockton University called 'South Jersey Butterfly Blog' that keeps absolutely great records of sightings and dates of all butterflies seen. Lancaster County Butterfly and Entomology Club also does likewise, hence first sightings and dates can be used with great accuracy. Since I have nothing new to show you I will post another pix of a common and usually considered bland butterfly. Here is a Cabbage White or White Sulphur nectaring on Purple Deadnettle also very common early spring flower. However both in combination makes for a great view. Have a great day, Denis
