Tom,
I too continue to have interesting butterflies in my yard. I had another
Ocola Skipper on my butterfly bush on 17 October. On 24 October I had a
Fiery Skipper on the same bush. Also of note was a fresh looking
Silver-spotted Skipper at the Richard M. Nixon County Park in Jacobus, York
County, PA on 26 October.
