[Dnldhlt@xxxxxxx]

     The butterfly count at Roan Mtn. Sat. July 17 was rained out after only 
two hours afield.  We will try again on Saturday, July 24, again meeting at 10 
am at the Visitors' Center at Roan Mtn. State Park.
     The two hours of butterflying we got in was time well spent, so I will 
list the results here.  The location was Hampton Creek Cove State Natural Area. 
 Participants were:  Bob Baldwin, Nancy Baldwin, Gilbert Derouen, Dianne 
Draper, John Hay, Don Holt, Tom McNeil, Allan Trently.

Caterpillars - at Twin Springs picnic area in Cherokee National Forest, we 
searched the Black Cohosh and found 10 dark purple Appalachian Azure 
caterpillars and 5 white Summer Azure caterpillars.  A search of Dutchman's 
Pipe along 
the path failed to turn up any Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars, quite 
possibly 
due to the rain.
