Field Trip – Butterflies with John Walas

Meet at the Movati Athletic Club Parking Lot 1185 Arthur Street W, Thunder Bay

Join us on June 17th (weather permitting) for a butterfly excursion as we explore what butterflies are out and about. John Walas will lead our group to the area of Stanley and Kakabeka to see what butterflies might be flying in the area in mid June.

We expect to find the northern cloudy wing skipper, dreamy dusky wing skipper, roadside skipper, and we may even find the salt and pepper skipper. The checkerspots, some of the commas, blues, bronzes copper and elfins should also still be out.

This should be a fairly easy outing with regard to trekking and footwear.

We will meet at the Movati Athetlic Club parking lot just to the east of the Scotiabank parking lot at 10:30 am, and car pool to meet up at the Stanley Hotel as our starting point.

Given that this is tick season, it would be highly advisable to wear light coloured clothing and use the appropriate insect repellants.
