Small & GV Whites numbers estimates based on apparent proportions of those few identified. Purple & WL Hairstreaks flying low with other butterflies instead of high in the trees today. More than White Admirals than the max (6) in 2017.Also 2 Common White Waves, Brimstone Moth, 6 Scarlet Tigers, a Silver Y and a Hedya salicella.
