SJBF Club Field Trip to Parker Preserve 6-13-09

The South Jersey Butterfly Club had a wonderful expedition to Franklin Parker Preserve (NJCF property around Chatsworth). Twenty-two observers found twenty-two species of butterflies -- and an amazing mix of other animals and plants. Stephen Mason arranged the visit, chose the sites, and led us around with great success. Thanks to Emile DeVito for allowing our group vehicular access -- and thanks to Pat Sutton and Frank Windfelder for allowing me to include their photos here.

Bill Murphy won the award (beating out 21 other determined competitors!) for first to find our primary hoped-for-species, this dotted skipper, <i>Hesperia attalus</i>
