I recently went out into the field with a neat woman who does a lot of work on butterflies in this area. I got to see some local rarities, along with what is apparently not rare in these parts, Little Metalmarks (
Calephelis virginiensis). I love metalmarks, which are really pretty tiny, especially the "little" ones. Click
here to see some photos that do better service to the silvery markings on their wings for which they get their name.
