Greetings All:
I visited White River Lake - and a few other spots - in Crosby County
yesterday. The temperature spiked at 94 - awesomely record breaking - and
butterflies were out and about in good numbers.
Species seen were Checkered White, Orange Sulphur, Southern Dogface, Sleepy
Orange, Dainty Sulphur, Variegated Fritillary, Mourning Cloak, Red
Admiral, and Goatweed Leafwing.
We have a cold front coming through early this week but temperatures aren't
expected to be below freezing for any length of time and I think most of
these bugs will pull through.
