Over the past 5 days I have seen 2 more FOY butterflies here in the yard. This brings the butterfly count up to #30 for 2023. Last year I had 33 species in total. I still have 4 species of skippers that haven't shown up yet or I just haven't noticed them. There are Sachems and Zabulon skippers flying everywhere. I am not inspired to pick through them to see if the missing skippers are in their midst. I also haven't had either Question Mark or Mourning Cloak yet but they didn't arrive in the yard until almost the end of October.
