Thanks, Alex. I have corrected that in my iPhoto. They seem to be waning & I saw quite a few Pearl  Crescents today nectaring on rudbekias. The psychiatric hospital in Berlin (next to CVMC) has big numbers of rudbekias  blooming now. No one seeme d to mind that I was wandering around the grounds with my camera. My husband goes to cardiac rehab twice a week and I check out the hospital grounds while he is doing that for an hr. 

The butterfly season seems to be picking up at last.

Gary,

It's actually a Northern Wood Nymph (subspecies nephele); but as I think I wrote a few days ago, nephele in northern VT and NH does not seem to be the same thing as nephele from western MA.
