It's been a while since I last posted. More than a year!
To get 2025 rolling, I went to Rose Lake WRA in Clinton County.
I am going to try a new way of listing my sightings.

Some lovely butterflies in your list which I would love to see. The Viceroy and Pearl Crescent in particular. Funny that your Common Ringlet occurs over here in Scotland, where we call it the Large Heath. Our Ringlet is quite different! The confusions of common names!
