Monarch drying its wings after emerging from its chrysalis, photo’d by Will Kerling in Cape May County 8-11-13.
August has been good for us so far: as of 8-19-13 we have more than 2000 individual reports, including our first Ocola skipper for the year (found by Chris Tonkinson in the CMBO garden on 8-15-13), the first bronze copper reports for Cumberland County in our 6 years of logging (Brian & Karen Johnson on the west side of the Cohansey River on 8-9-13 and 8-17-13), and lots else. See the live log for the details — and keep the reports coming, everyone!
Please send any shots you are willing to share on this blog to nacotejackATgmailDOTcom. JPEG format works the best. Thank you all!
