Twenty volunteers contributed to this week's survey under hot and mostly sunny conditions. The duskywing and leafwing caterpillars shown below are not closely related and belong to different butterfly families. Nearly all skippers (such as the duskywing) create retreats in which to hide but the leafwing is exceptional among the nymphalids in using this same defense against predators.
