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
