Lancaster County Butterflies ~ Chestnut Grove Natural Area,

 It's my second visit to this butterfly friendly natural area. I saw 19 species of butterflies though sad there weren't more individuals of each species flying.  Lots of trails to walk and butterflies to see though the nectar plants from my last visit have almost all died back.  I bet it's wonderful in the spring when all of the Common Milkweed is blooming.

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!
