Rayetta's Immediately Post Summer Solstice Butterfly Report
Jeez Louise, Ray. Quit it. Quit messing with me. I need to finish this up before Rayetta arrives.
Well hurry it up Crumby. She’s a comin’. I can hear my sister giving some orders right outside the lab. So ye better hurry on up.
Dang it!. Hold it. There now. I have incontrovertible evidence that Rayetta’s baby butterflies are eating up the Hybanthus verticillata, too. Wait ‘til Rayetta sees this!
Hello Boys.
Hello Lovely Druidess Rayetta. Check this out Rayetta. This is incontrovertible
Not now Crumby. I have important work to do. Matter of fact, you two need to clear on out of here. Ray, there is a scarlet fly pollinating the Cynanchum unifarium. So got out to the east pasture. You can gawk at a scarlet fly. Take Crumby with you. Both of you can gawk at a scarlet fly.
Rayetta, is the scarlet fly as big as the head of a handsome Irishman?
No Ray. It is not quite that big. But it is sort of scarlet. Now take off.
But Rayetta
Beat it, Crumby. Hmmm. There they go at last, the bosom companions are off to find the scarlet fly. All righty then. I have lots to catch up on. Right now, at this very nonce, a tousand or maybe two tousand butterflies are habitating at the CB. Or maybe more than that, if one counts the caterpillars. The most conspicuous and numerous ones are, border patch, tawny emperor, hackberry emperor, question mark, Tejan crescent and Phaon crescent. Besides these, there are a bunch more, but they are not as common as these, even though many of them are conspicuous. Then too, some of this latter group are quite common, but not conspicuous. I would include most of the skippers in this last group. Savvy!
So I have updated the CB butterfly presence notes. Now it is time for a new CB-BDS presentation. Here’s our first documented Eufala skipper (Lerodea eufala), top
and bottom.
And here’s a better picture of our second silver-spotted skipper (Epargyreus clarus). Actually, it could be the same silver-spotted skipper as before. It likes to ovaposit on the grapes.
