Viceroy- Prairie Road Fen

A quick post from Dayton- epicenter of the afore mentioned Midwest Native Plant Conference. I had the good fortune to pre-scout some closed-preserve State Nature Preserve properties, and the day was amazing!

Just one photo from Prairie Road Fen to set the tone for the conference. Tonight's speakers were Judy Burris and Wayne Richards, authors of a great book entitled The Life Cycles of Butterflies. Check it out, you will be blown away with the macro photography!

Maybe we'll post more tomorrow- Pink Katydid is quite the celebrity here. Since her featured article in the Columbus Dispatch came out today, she is the most in-demand insect in Ohio!
