Ron Goetz reported 26 species at Kidd Lake Marsh in Monroe County, Illinois on

6/7. Highlights included 3 Bronze Coppers, I Dion Skipper, 1 Hoary Edge, and most

notably, a

Golden-Banded Skipper, a very rare find in the St . Louis area A

Striped

Hairstreak visited the Butterfly Weed in Dave Berry's garden on 6/10

; this is an

exceptional yard butterfly and one that has rarely been reported by NABA members

anywhere in the St

. Louis area, although it is a resident species .

Jim Ziebol saw I

Dukes's Sk iner at Horseshoe Lake,

On 6/l ; this is the

st time Jiir has seen an

individual from the early summer brood (more will emerge in

August)

. Jim also observed a

Delaware Skipper. On another trip

to Fults Hill Prairie on

6/2, Ron Goetz found Bell's Roadside Skipper (a county record), Hayhurst's

Scallopwing (first sighting in the immediate St

. Louis area), and Gorgone Checkerspot

.

A Variegated

Fritillary,

2 Banded Hairstreaks, Giant Swallowtail and numerous

Hackberries were highlights at Busch Wildlife on 6/3

(YH) .

The butterfly

of the year will undoubtedly be the BROAD-WINGED

SKIPPERS found by Jim Ziebol on 6/3 at Horseshoe Lake . This species is a new

discovery for the St

. Louis area, as well as a county record for Madison County, Illinois .

Whether these Broad-winged Skippers have resided at Horseshoe Lake for a long time,

unnoticed, or whether they have recently taken up residence, we don't know . In

Butterflies through Binoculars: the Fast, Jeffrey Glassberg states that this species of tidal

wetlands has been expanding its range to inland fresh-water marshes . Whichever the

case, the habitat is perfect: Horseshoe Lake contains some of the last remaining wetlands

in the St . Louis area, and also contains stands of Common Reed, Phragmites communis,

the caterpillar food (host) plant . To protect this vulnerable colony from individuals who

might wish to collect, we are not disclosing the precise location except to NABA

members. In your next issue ofAmerican Butterflies,

check out the "Hot Seens" column

by Michael Reese for a report on this discovery

. (Documentation: video, Jim Ziebol and
