photo by Will Kerling.
Will Kerling photo’d the first Celastrina lucia for 2012 on the very early date of February 23 at Beaver Dam Road. He and others have been expecting to spot this species early, given the warm, so-called winter we have had and the several other butterfly oddities logged so far this year.
Congratulations to Will on another excellent find!
