Four people conducted this survey; temperatures were quite warm, humidity was high, and cloud cover was heavy. Without sunshine, butterfly activity remained relatively low, but we did see more different species of bees than had previously been noted. Assassin bugs and garden spiders were also numerous, while the saltmarsh caterpillars have disappeared.
