Some More Butterflies

I checked out Moore WMA this afternoon and found a few butterflies. Striped, Coral and Edwards' Hairstreaks were present. The Coral were interesting in various states of wear or colour.
The first photo shows one that was worn, but the orange spots were a cream colour. The second photo shows a typical one, while the third photo shows the orange spots rather bright.





Other butterflies included Appalachian Brown, Little Wood Satyr, Wood Nymph (very common), Silvery Checkerspot, Eastern Comma, Gray Comma, Great Spangled Fritillary, Delaware Skipper and Northern Broken Dash. A few European Skippers were out too.





I also encountered a Snowberry Clearwing moth on Wild Bergamot. I have also seen the Hummingbird Clearwing at this location.
