So far I have not found any for= the butterfly atlas. I assume you are searching near pines? Mature or youn= g? Do you have to look high on tree or on ground near the trees? Are there w= et areas nearby? The Brown and Hoary Elfins I have seen in past years were= close to the ground. Any tips you can share would be appreciated.. I see on= ly 1 record this way probably by Richard Mash who has done a lot of good wor= k in the southern part of Antigonish and northern Guysborough counties.
