While feeding the horses this morning I saw another Checkered-Skipper in one of the pastures so I took a look around and saw a total of 6 in a relatively small area. The Prickly Mallow is up early this year but it's only 3 inches tall and there aren't any blooms. This doesn't seem to matter to the butterflies because all of their activity is around these plants. I'm wondering if we're going to see good numbers of them all summer long? Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County http://tinyurl.com/FinishFlagFarmsMoths http://www.finishflagfarms.com ;
