Oh, forgot about those couple Pearl Crescents we saw. They are the most
commmon orange and black b'fly in our area and do resemble SB
Fritillaries especially with spectalcles off to look through VF. A bit
late for them but not terribly so.

Great Regatta! I think the more technical term is actually "mud puddle
club." I believe #6 might just be an Orange Sulphur that can be less
orangy this time of year. It is complicated by the fact they interbreed
with the clouded and look somewhat in-between as well. The albino
versions more often than not fool me into calling them Cabbage Whites,
if not careful.
I am surprised how well that zoom performs in preserving detail on
extension. I wonder if you would even consider a native MFT 100mm
macro lens (if it existed) that went 1:1 or not for the working
distance.
Enjoyed looking at them. I am glad you got to them before the others.
Mike
