Other recent finds

I don't think I have posted a pic yet of Fiery Skipper.  I had seen one skipping around on The Grove (a rooftop terrace) at work, but could only get bad pics of it with my cell phone.  Of course, I took my good camera two days in a row and the bug was a no-show.  After the second day of no-showness I came home only to find Fiery Skipper skipping between my lantana and butterfly bush.  WhooHoo, so several ggod pics.
  Then last weekend was out painting my cargo box for the trip west and noticed something different on the butterfly bush.  After about 20 minutes of trying, was finally able to get a good pic of a Sachem.  My first of the year.  Funny thing is, the day before I had emailed a guy in Illinois  seeking his recommendation for a site there that I might see Sachem, because, at the time, I had not seen any in Ohio.  Funny how things work out.
  My next post should be from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, with a report of all the cool stuff I saw at Big Bone Lick State Park (I love that name!).
