/-Jersey Cape NATURALLY -n A couple of years ago, just about this time of season, a friend went for a stroll down the Wetland' s Institute's back lane. He wasn't looking for birds as most of our visitors do, he was looking for butterflies. The Monarch butterfly, which to my mind is harbinger of glorious fall weather to come, is an expected marsh visitor. The Monarch's taste is for milkweed, upon which its larva feed and where its beautiful lime-green pupa may be found. The golden dots patterning the pupa make it a natural jewel. . . . Also present that day

were Cabbage White but; terflies .which feed on yellow mustard as well as cabbages, and the American Painted Lady, another active, common and wide-ranging butterfly. It is the Skippers, though, which characterize the wetlands habitat. Both the Broad-winged Skipper and the Salt Marsh Skipper which be found, and the Aaron'/ Skipper which appears earlier in June, prefer salt marsh environments. A "Skippers" are so called because of their swift and darting flight These '"little brown butterflies" are often difficult to identify. The Wetlands Institute's insect collection is available to those who would like to take a closer look at these interesting marsh residents. r Thank you, David Hess, for the list of butterflies along the Wetland's Institute lane. / 1 J
