Subject: [MDOSPREY] Butterflies at National Colonial Farm, March 18


I forgot to include in my bird report from the Piscataway Park area 
f PG County yesterday (3/18) something that should be of interest to 
epidoptera lovers.
When the sun finally came out in early afternoon, we were walking the 
rails of the National Colonial Farm and were treated to an 
stonishing number of male Falcate Orangetips.  Almost outnumbered 
he birds there and certainly outnumbered all other butterfly species.
If you are not familiar with this species, and I freely admit that I 
asn't, go to
http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Anthocharis-midea
and find out all about it.  It's small but gorgeous.
