SUMMARY:Wednesday Walk: Pilot Mountain State Park
DESCRIPTION:Left to Right: Dreamy Duskywing\, Brown Elfin\, Juvenal’s Duskywing\, and Gemmed Satyr \nWe will meet at the top of the mountain near the restrooms. We recommend bringing a packed lunch and beverages. Binoculars and camera will come in handy for this walk. No need for sunscreen or bug spray. We will be walking through grasses\, shubbery\, and on trails\, so be sure to wear sturdy footwear\, hiking shoes or boots. \nThis early season walk at Pilot Mountain will hopefully provide an additional opportunity to catch some of the Limited Time Only (LTO) butterflies that can only be seen during the beginning of spring. Our target species for this walk include the Brown Elfin\, the Sleepy and Dreamy Duskywings\, Gemmed Satyrs\, and Mourning Cloaks. \nPerfect butterflying weather is not necessary for this walk to be conducted. However\, if there is a forecast for certain rain it will be cancelled. Please register to receive updates about this walk.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Walk: NCBG
DESCRIPTION:Meet up for this walk will be in the plant sale area near the Visitor’s Center. On this walk you can opt to dress for comfort as the pathways are easy to walk. There are public restrooms and a water fountain in the Visitor’s Center. There are numerous restaurants near the Gardens. Parking is free. \nThe NCBG is renowned for its collection of native plants. If butterfly activity is sparse\, there will be plenty of spring ephemeral flowers to enjoy. They have an impressive collection of Baptisia plants that are always buzzing with fuzzy bumblebees. Honeybees can be observed foraging in the large clumpings of Aquilegia canadensis. \nIn the herb garden is a mass planting of fennel and if conditions are right\, we might see an Eastern Black Swallowtail lay eggs on the delicate fronds. Once we sighted a Zebra Swallowtail in the Gardens during the spring. Not unusual as there are two large paw paw trees near the carnivorous plants. In the fall we sighted a Brazilian Skipper foraging on phlox–a very unexpected sighting as they usually are seen near species of Cannas\, their host plants. \nDisclaimer: We are not affiliated with NCBG or have a partnership with them.
