Over the last 13 days, I was able to visit this location twice. The highlight
was a healthy colony of Palatka Skippers, easily found feeding at pickeralweed.
The location yield 31 species, many extremely abundant. The habitat is
remarkably similar to the habitat in MS along the Gulf Coast where I have fond
Berry's Skippers. I plan to return in early Sept, 2017, to see if that skipper
is present. The composite numbers are as follows:
7 Pipevine ST
4 E. Tiger ST (including 2 large black females)
C Palamedes ST
2 Spicebush ST
1 Giant ST
A Cloudless Suls
1 Sleepy Orange
