Hi All,

I just got back from a short vacation to South Florida where I got in a couple 
of days of butterflying.  I got several lifers, but I think I was the most 
excited about seeing a Fulvous Hairstreak.  They are tiny, even smaller than a 
Red-banded Hairstreak!  A couple of other notables were a Mangrove Skipper 
(huge) and a Malachite, and of course it's hard to top the Atalas.  I'm 
attaching several photos to give you a taste of the South Florida butterflies 
you might encounter in July (the Ruddy Daggerwing was taken last year, but did 
see them this year also.)
