Index of Subjects <html> <body> <font size=3>Lots of knapweed in the Eastern Kings area but as Peter says, little on them. Bees, a few wasps & almost no flies.<br> Angus<br><br> At 05:56 PM 7/15/2012, you wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">We visited Chebucto Head today looking for Northern Blues, and weren't disappointed. We counted about 20 over a space of one hour, on the barrens north of the light. It was slightly foggy and cool, and perhaps that encouraged them to open their wings more when they rested.<br><br> Other than the blues, we saw a single Monarch and several Northern Crescents. At the Macintosh Run trail, we saw more Crescents and an American Lady.<br><br> It's strange about the knapweed this year. We've seen hardly anything on it. I wonder if the dry weather has somehow reduced the amount of nectar being produced. Speaking of seeing hardly anything, we've seen almost no fritillaries this summer. Weird.<br><br> Peter Payzant<br> Waverley<br><br> p.s. you can see photos of these and other butterflies we've seen this summer on ebutterfly.ca. It's also a great place to browse for photos of practically any species in Canada. I encourage anyone with an interest in butterflies to report your sightings there. If accompanied by a photo, the record automatically gets submitted to the Maritimes Butterfly Atlas as well.<br> </font></blockquote></body> </html>
