Silver-spotted Skipper
New Sighting
The first male monarch we have seen in the yard this year.
Is this a Gen 1 offspring of the Mexican overwintering population that has migrated from southern states, or a Gen 2 grandchild from an egg oviposited in NJ by a Gen 1 female?
Info about IDing males and the sequence of monarch migration (and how females and males might arrive in SJ on different schedules) on the blog here:
