Bryan,
 
No, maybe not...Boloria eunomia and Incisalia eryphon are still out there...
 
Kevin, give Bryan an "asterisk"...
 
Also, I'd like to see the "Pink Edged Sulphur" photo from Roy...Unfortunately, I have been finding "Clouded" Sulphurs in northern New Hampshire, at elevation of 1500 ft. +/-, in mid-August etc., that have the VHW discocellular spot single-ringed (as in interior), but in these it is very small (unlike interior)...the postmedian ventral black spots are present on the FW (and even HW) in many cases, absent on others...These are a bit strange looking for philodice, but for sure they are NOT interior... It's also late for interior...(I think)...
 
Anyway, who knows...but again, some of these "northern" "Clouded" Sulphurs look a bit strange...
 
Alex

You gotta get up and out pretty early to beat Sweet Nectar Hemeon to a
first state record. So, alas, another one eludes me. Perhaps I get some
meager credit for giving Kevin the incentive: I told him I'd be down there
promptly if he didn't find it today.

Congratulations! (Looks as if I'll have to stick to finding new Vermont
dragonflies.)

Regards,
-Bryan Pfeiffer (unfortunately no relation to Martha)
