A very fresh red admiral butterfly nectaring on Canada thistle. I was at the FWG for about an hour around noon and it was getting pretty hot. When I first arrived I saw an American lady butterfly, several red admirals (both of these Vanessa species very fresh), two black swallowtails, lots of sulphurs and cabbage whites, and three summer azures. I was really looking for American Snout! Yesterday afternoon while looking for insects in the new section of the butterfly meadow, I saw two very fast-flying lepidoptera zoom off toward the old part of the meadow. All I could see were flashes of orange. I thought to myself (Gosh, they look rather like the American snout butterflies I had two years ago, but nooooo way would they appear again). After a few minutes of fruitless searching I returned to photographing insects, convinced I'd been mistaken about the colours and maybe they were a couple of large moths. BUT, today, Diane Lepage called to say she saw two Snouts at the garden!!! And took a photo. So hopefully, we will have one of Diane's photos to post here, soon.
