Saturday, November 26, was the last outdoor shower at Kentucky Manor for
2011 (eight months outside and four months inside), and it also may be the
last for the butterflies at the Manor for the year. If so, they went out
with a BANG with 8 species and 15 individuals,

* Cloudless Sulphur - A fresh looking, small bright orange individual
that mainly sunned, flying short distances several times but low to the
ground.
* Checkered White - A worn individual that flew by briefly than down
the street and over a two-story house going south.
* Monarch - Individual appeared in early afternoon and disappeared
shortly afterwards.
* Gulf Fritillary - The species has been around at Kentucky Manor
almost everyday in November that was viable for butterflies. On the 26th,
one individual was around off and on all day with a second, smaller
individual appearing at the same time in the afternoon. Fed mainly on
pansies, but also on dry pink chrysanthemums. Sunned a lot.
* Clouded Skipper - Three individuals scattered around the yard,
mainly feeding on pansies, but also on fresh blue salvia.
* Fiery Skipper - Four rather fresh looking individuals enjoyed
pansies during the warmer time of the day.
* Sachem - A fresh looking male and female fed around the yard on
pansies.
