Walking A County Park for Butterflies

Great walk yesterday at one of the parks. 16 species of butterflies. Egg laying Eastern-tailed Blue, butterflies puddling on and near scat. Temperatures not overly hot and I remembered to spray my clothes with bug spray. It was a win!

Nottingham County Park ~ Birds, Butterflies and Other Bugs

 Had a great afternoon visit to Nottingham County Park, Chester County, PA yesterday. There were 5 different Snowberry Clearwing Moths on the butterfly bush with lots of skippers.

There were numerous butterflies in the park including a Zebra Swallowtail that didn't sit still for pictures and some type of another swallowtail that was black and blew by me on one of the trails.
