Marc and I did stopped ant the wildlife refuge and later at the Island Nature Trail in Chincoteague. There were hundreds of newly hatched little toads.

Butterflies
Pine Barrens Lepidoptera
We attended a field trip to the Pine Barrens in New Jersey. The trip was led by Rick Ceck. It was organized by the Linnaean Society of NY. The trip was focused on butterflies. A good source for what might be seen is at the New Jersey Butterfly Club. It was a log trip and covered at least 4 locations in southern New Jersey. The group saw 15 species of lepidoptera.

It was too hot for me to focus on much.
Ward Pound Ridge Butterflies
Early June butterflies in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation (westchestergov.com) seen during a trip led by Rick Cech (author of books on the subject) along with several other experts as part of a The Linnaean Society of New York (linnaeannewyork.org) trip. We had a great time looking for insects and other wildlife. I had help identifying some of these.
Central Park Flowers
I enjoy finding the names for these. I included an odd butterfly.
