Little Orange Creek Nature Preserve butterfly field trip
September 2014 |
|
An overcast day did not discourage an SFAS group from exploring Little Orange Creek Nature Preserve’s butterfly-friendly habitats with experts Kay and Sarah Eoff and Barbara Woodmansee. A variety of butterfly species were spotted, but the stars of the show were the Gulf Fritillaries, which were abundant in all four life stages. Additional attractions included a bright green lynx spider, a young water snake and a large praying mantis.
