This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_Inrj03eO+RPXLo6GhKar0A) Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT With yesterday's glorious weather, we decided to go out looking for early butterflies. It was so pleasant to be able to walk around outside without being attacked by blackflies and mosquitoes! In the Mount Uniacke area we saw one late "Infant" moth, lamentably glued to a fresh animal dropping and struggling to get free. Also in Mt. Uniacke we saw our first Spring Azure of the season, and also an Elfin. These are tiny brown butterflies, about the size of your thumbnail, and they only fly in the early spring. We have five species in the province: Brown, Hoary, Henry's, Bog and Eastern Pine. Now is the time to be on the watch for them - look for them sunning themselves on the ground on country roads and barrens, or sipping moisture from wet ground. Ours was probably a Henry's. Here <http://www.pbase.com/ppayzant/image/111737621>'s a photo.
