| the
first documented Zabulon Skipper east of the Connecticut River Valley
in MA for the "spring" season. The first Zabulon in eastern MA was
found in September 2008 within a few hundred yards of this one. In
September of 2009 several Zabulons were found in the Westport/Dartmouth
area; but it sure was nice to come across one in the spring as well.
Zabulons are always a good find in MA - and especially so this time of
year. |
