Coordinator notes: White female of species, catch & release. C. philodice tends to have a longer flight season in my area as compared to C. eurytheme. One yellow female and two white females noted. Most butterflies flight patterns during this month tend to be rather lazy as compared to their normal. Other butterflies seen today were Painted Ladys, Mourning Cloak, Dainty Sulfurs and skippers.
