Hello to all who trekked, sometimes over considerable distances, to obtain photos of Carroll County butterflies recently in order to add species to the butterfly list of that county at the BAMONA website. Before this past Friday, the Carroll County list had 5 species. On Sep 11 or 12, three sets of photos were obtained and submitted, each adding Eastern Tailed-Blue to the county list; three sets of photos also added Sachem to the county list; two sets of photos added Common Buckeye to the county list; and one set of photos added Least Skipper, Pearl Crescent, and Red-spotted Purple to the county list, bringing the county species total to 11-and out of the single digit 'fly zone. Thanks to all who made this pilgrimage and who took photos. Hope some of you saw each other, as well as butterflies, during your time in Carroll County, which has not seen so much focus on butterflies in its entire history prior to the last two days.
