I was at the same spot in May and they were insane! GSW everywhere. We found all stages on the path towards the old bridge, then walked out to the opening near the seawall, where we found thousands in flight! No Miami Blues, but great numbers of Martial & Mallow Scrub-Hairstreaks & Little Yellows. Nice video.

Awesome!!! Thanks so much. Have you seen cuban crescents anywhere? I want to do a video on them but it’s been like 20 years since I’ve seen them

[@thebirdingchannel]

@@keysmoths5336 no dude. It’s been a while since I’ve found one. I used to see them on Key Biscayne and Virginia Key for years, then they disappeared. I’ve been searching for them in different areas where I’ve found Dicliptera. I’ll let you know when I find one! Have you come down to try for the Caribbean Crackers? Them and Malachites have been seen throughout the keys recently.

Wow!!! That’s awesome!!! I’m so glad the videos bless you like that!!!

I liked checking out Glassy Key on the west side. Of course, I didn't have a need of a collecting permit back then.

[@keysmoths5336]

Yep
