Thanks Harvey. I didn't realise its significance. I'll try to get there again shortly to see if I can find any more.

Fantastic record John and a great photo - the first Silky Hairstreak for CNM.

Congratulations John! Excellent record, thanks for submitting. Seems quite late in the season for these to be flying.
