This  warm aft in Shubie Park saw two more spring leps. 

 

First , was seeing my first Spring Azure (complex) of the spring  aka
Celastrina ladon . 

 Other April records I have gleaned are as follows  :  April 23. 1951,
Halifax Watershed, April 26 , 1969 Gold River Lunenburg Co., April 30, 1944,
Armdale , Halifax Co. . 

 

So this may appear to be a very early flite date for this species.  

 

Secondly , saw a day flying moth called "The Infant"  aka Archiearis infans
flying a in a part of the woods that had alot of birch !

 

Still waiting to see my first Elfin of the early spring . The earliest
record I can find for Brown Elfin aka Callophrys augustinus  April 24 ,1969
in Halifax Co. 

 

If this spring keeps up we may see it earlier. 

 

Cheers,
