Butterfly sighting

Sep 9

Karl and Dorothy Legler

Location: Yellowstone Lake State Park and Wildlife Area
Lafayette County

Temperature from 69 to 74. Sunny and wind about 5 mph. 17 species found. Above one of the Little Yellows was a vast swarm of Common Green Darners and above them was a flock of a dozen or so feeding Common Nighthawks. Apparently the 2 groups were migrating and feeding on a concentration of other small flying insects.
