June was disappointing, wet,cool and very windy. My bog really didn't produce what I was hoping for, but I did manage to come up with more species.
Both top & bottom views are included for the majority, but not all of those collected.
I was going to wait and post this later, but work schedule looks like I'll post it now.

Some nice stuff there, though. I didn't realize that female silvery blues had dark edges. I just today mounted a silvery that I collected a couple of weeks ago while I was in Waterville.
Thanks! I realized you see the most butterflies when you are engaged in something like, say mowing the lawn. And your net is all the way on the other side of the property.
My sister and I got our first butterfly nets when I was 6 and she was 5. We used to put them in front of us while we were swinging on the swing set. When something flew into the yard, we'd jump off and run to try to catch it. Maybe you should put a net rack on your lawn mower.
Any idea which Polygonia you have there?
I have a riding mower, so I started keeping the net of the deck and keeping my foot on it. It works with a short handled net, but it now takes longer to do the lawn.
And the Polygonia? I am leaning towards a satyrus
