Then at Boas Road we did find two blues but I am sure they are Silvery Blues<\/strong> and not Boisduvals.\u00a0 [Ron\u2019s photograph below confirms it.] Finally I saw the caterpillar back at Beacon Hill Park.<\/p>\n

Several Cedar<\/strong> and Grey Hairstreaks<\/strong>, many Clodius Parnassian<\/strong>s<\/strong>, a couple of Lorquin’s<\/strong> Admirals<\/strong>, several Pale and Western Tiger Swallowtails<\/strong>, one Western Meadow Fritillary<\/strong>,\u00a0and a mystery brown butterfly.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 \u00a0We\u2019ll show the mystery brown butterfly first below.\u00a0 By shape it looks like an elfin (Incisalia\/ Callophrys<\/em>) \u2013 but which one?\u00a0 We would welcome opinions (with reasons!).<\/p>\n
