National Butterfly Center, 7/18/13

Checked out the NBC today to see if any of the recently reported good stuff was still around.  Dot immediately put me onto the brush holly that has been hosting a number of daggerwings.  As the day progressed the count increased to three Ruddy Daggerwings and three Many-banded Daggerwings.

This beat up Zilpa Longtail went misidentified (thanks to me) during the day but Dot got us straightened out.  It's been a couple of years since I've seen one.

This Gray Cracker has been hanging around for a while.

With it's wings up, I did not recognize this White-patched Skipper.

A pretty nice Giant Swallowtail.

And a Whirlabout.
