Butterfly Walk at Goshen - Thursday, August 16th, 2012

The weather for this Thursday's mid morning walk was delightful, and the butterflies put on a good display including a couple Salt Marsh Skippers. However, it was other critters who stole the show. Hummingbird moths were all over the place, and afforded us good looks at both species (Hummingbird Clearwing and Snowberry Clearwing). Also noteworthy was a large Black and Yellow Garden Spider with a Monarch in its web! Leaders: Nancy Watson and Mike Hannisian.
