15 June Additional Note

No field trip was set for this day due to work and I was just heading to my Sunday shift when I magaed to observe three butterflies, including one undentified white, during rather weather conditions consisting of overcast, no winds and 24°C (3:35 PM).

+-------------------------+---------------------------------+--------+
| Species                 | Location                        | Status |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------|--------+
| Aglais urticae          | Yard                            | Adult  |
|-------------------------|---------------------------------|--------|
| Vanessa cardui          | Yard                            | Adult  |
+-------------------------+---------------------------------+--------+

While A. urticae was resting on a wall, V. cardui was flying across the street in front of my home. The unidentiied white, like V. cardui, flew to my neighbor's property.

Note (22 June): The unidentified white turned out to be a P. rapae.
