Allegan SGA

A friend of mine gave me directions to a site in Allegan SGA for Olympia Marbles (Euchloe olympia). So this past Sunday I made the trip (for the second time this year) in hopes of seeing and photographing this beauty. For the second time this year, I failed to locate any marbles. There were plenty of host plants in the areas I looked, but no marbles. Maybe next year.
I did not walk away empty handed.
My list for the day:
Black Swallowtail - 1
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - 1
Spicebush Swallowtail - 1
Karner Blue - 2
Mourning Cloak - 1
Red-spotted Purple (L.a. astyanax) - 2
Little Wood Satyr - 12
Northern Cloudywing - 2
Indian Skipper - 3
