I walked the prairie and clubhouse loopsin mid-to-late afternoon. Overcast and cool. The majority of the butterflies were on the east prairie trail. No tandem pairs; one caterpillar. Also seen - Virginia Ctenucha moths pretending to be butterflies, a robber fly, and a Bumblebee/Snowberry Clearwing moth at rest.
