Wow, that is super to know of a new colony in this location! I am not sure I can ID them from upperside only. Does anyone know if you really can tell from Mustard with just upperside? I assume Roy you got a good look at them though and they were not Mustards. Just making sure as this is a conservation concern species in Vermont and a new site. Very cool.

Greetings Kent,

I have not checked this site before for butterflies in general but I note Sue and Marv have some other butterfly records along Wild Cat Road.

Unfortunately this was the best I could do with my pocket Canon PowerShot and I have no ventral view. The host plant appears "correct" for the species.

Cheers Roy.

Isn't that a new site Roy? Do you have an underside shot of one?
