John Gilhen and I took advantage of this great weather to look for early
spring bugs and herps as we took a run to the Mt Uniacke area and vicinity.
Unfortunately John bonked in the herp dept but did hear a couple of wood
frogs.
I saw my first Cicindelid of the spring that being a 12 spotted C.
12gutatta tiger beetle . Also a bumble bee Bombus ssp ., many bee flies
Bombylius major , saw a Polistes sp wasp , and many other thread waisted
and Sphecidae hunting wasps.
Lep wise I was searching for early Spring Azure and /or Elfins . Even
looking for the trifecta of perhaps , Mourning Cloak, Compton Tortoisehell
and any of the Comma sp !
But I was surprised with a Cabbage White aka Pieris rapae !
Although not a great lep but a nice early flite record all the same . I
could only to my surprise find 1 other record earlier than this for this
species in Nova Scotia and that bug was recorded March 20 , 1905 from
McNabs Island, Halifax Harbour. I wonder what the weather was like that day
? ? ?
Bring it !
