I'm pretty sure the Daintys have been here for about a month but none held
still
long enough to be definitely ID'd until 10 days ago. Their summer pattern makes
them look like a tiny Little Yellow from a distance but when they fly, the dark
areas on the tops of the wings makes them look very different. When I spent a
few minutes looking in Gibson Co not long ago, I saw one almost immediately so
I'm betting they can be found all over West TN right now.
This is another one of those crazy variations in population. None were reported
in 2008, a few were reported in 2009 and so far there have been hundreds in
2010.
