I didn't see anything new at the wetland...was mainly looking for butterflies.

It's going to be a very hot day (feel like 35c) as we are in a heat wave in Southwestern Ontario. Trying to get out early to beat the heat. Hyde Park is one of my favorite places to look for butterflies and dragonflies. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the weeds, flowers and grasses got cut down short this year. There are lots of Cabbage Whites around.

I mainly looked for insects today. It is really dry and we really need some rain. The common dragonflies were flying around. Other butterflies I saw but no photos were Cabbage Whites, Clouded Sulphurs and an Eastern Tailed-Blue.
