Most people that live in the north are thinking butterfly season is over by late October. True in many years. Occasionally butterflies get an extended season. Today after work I ventured out to Rose Lake SGA in Clinton County, Michigan. Temps were in the mid 60's with a little sunshine thrown in. A great day to look for late season species. I worked a field for about 45 minutes that has plenty of nectar. The results were excellent with ten species recorded.
Species seen were - Cabbage White, Clouded Sulphur, Orange Sulphur, Monarch, Question Mark, Eastern Comma, Amerian Lady, Painted Lady, Red Admiral, and Common Checkered Skipper.
