On Wednesday (7/2), I was off work after lunch so I stopped at one of my favorite county parks on the way home. I was excited to finally see some butterfly activity! Here are some of the butterflies I saw:
 |
| Banded Hairstreak (Satyrium calanus) |
 |
| Appalachian Brown (Lethe appalachia) |
 |
| Eastern-Tailed Blue (Cupido comyntas) |
 |
| American Lady (Vanessa virginiensis) |
 |
| Viceroy (Limenitis archippus) |
My 3.02 mile path at Gleason Family Nature Preserve on Wednesday:
Friday (7/4) I hiked in the morning and forgot to track my hike. I'm pretty sure it was only slightly over 1 mile since it was pretty warm out and I spent some time around a dead tree looking at mosses, lichens, and slime molds. It was not a particularly eventful hike, but it was nice to get some fresh air before retreating indoors for the hotter portion of the day.
 |
| Moss Bells (Galerina hypnorum) |
 |
| A slime mold in the genus “Physarum” |
As always, thanks for following along as I hike to train for Pelotonia's October trail hike and raise money for caner research at OSU. Click Here to go to my Pelotonia page.
