Northern Hairstreak
I had this Northern and two others at Lippincott Bird Sanctuary in Lima. To get there, get off I-75 at the 117 exit and follow 117 southeast past the fairgrounds. About a half mile on the left you will see the sign for Lippincott bird santuary. If you get to the old style diner, you have gone too far. They only seem to come out after 5:30 PM or so. If anyone needs better directions call me at 937-935-9023. Also had Long Dashes and Banded Hairstreaks. All the good stuff was on dogbane right along the main path back to the woods(the path directly behind the information sign).

Karner Blue and random stuff
Hello all,
I thought I'd post a few pics from the past few days and the end of last week. Here are Karner Blue from Kitty Todd; Hobomok, female Zabulon and Long Dash from Logan county today(went to visit grandpa's and took a short walk with him and Graham and Mom and Dad). Things are really coming along!

Big Skippers = Big Fun
Hello all,
I decided to head down to Shawnee today after work to look for a very rare butterfly in Ohio. Linda Romine Called me yesterday to let me know she had found Golden-Banded Skippers in Shawnee St. Forest. I zipped down there today and was able to refind them and it was a life butterfly for me and a very rare butterfly throughout eastern North America. Through the course of the afternoon, I found all five of the regular Ohio "Big Skippers." They are: Golden-Banded, Northern Cloudywing, Southern Cloudywing, Hoary Edge, and Silver Spotted Skipper. The only one I didn't photograph was the final one, but I'm guessing you know what those look like:) I also had my first swarthy skipper and banded hairstreak of the year and a large Black Racer sunning on the road. Here are the big skippers:
