Tom Stock asked if anyone had seen Long-tailed Skippers recently. On
September 13, 1998, I saw a Long-tailed Skipper in my garden laying eggs
on my bean plants. I haven't seen one since. I live in Silver Spring
inside the Beltway. I also saw an Ocola Skipper nectaring on Globe
Amaranth flowers on September 27, 1998.
For recent reports of Long-tailed Skippers elsewhere on the East coast,
check out the North American Butterfly Association web site at
www.naba.org To send your butterfly reports to NABA for posting on the
web site, the e-mail address is springer@naba.org
