   I drove up to Kisatchie NF in Rapides Parish (Caster Plunge Rd) to look for 
Dusted Skippers, but saw none. It was not particularly dry, and, in fact, there 
were several mud puddles in the low spots. Lots of Cloudless Sulphurs and 
Little Yellows. I ended up seeing 23 or 24 species (still deciding on a 
duskywing, Wild Indigo vs Zarucco). On the way home I stopped at Thistlethwaite 
where I saw 23 species. Ended the day w/ 35 species, but nothing really 
exciting. The Dions are not flying yet at Thistlethwaite, but the Dukes are 
still there. Still can't make it back into the back b/c the drilling rig is 
blocking that road. 
 
    I'll post the full list later this week after I determine what the 
duskywing is. cwm
