Tried Butler Road (south Kings) yesterday afternoon. Usually a good spot fo=
r butterflies but not this summer.
=20
Earlier lots of flowers along the roadside but the Logging co. have bushwac=
ked the edges for quite a distance so that habitat (good for insects) is go=
ne for the year. On the positive side=2C the road has been dragged/graded s=
o the driving is much better (no deep potholes).
=20
One sideroad had lots of bees=2C mostly Bombus ternarius...~50=2C (like St=
eve Shaw found at Mount Uniacke)=2C with just a few B. vagans & B. impatien=
s. The latter has been the most common bee in Kings but B. ternarius appear=
s to be much more common. The latter also flies very late in the fall. Also=
rivalling ternarius in numbers was our common paper wasp=2C Polistes fusca=
tus. At the end of the road in an open area found a few Ringlets & Clouded =
Sulphurs.
=20
On another sideroad with seemingly the same amount of flowers=2C no insects=
but huge numbers of large blackberries. It was quite warm (28+). The berr=
ies in the sun tasted almost hot!!=20
