Date correct?
Is the date correct (i.e., were you in Townsend on the 1st of April and the 1st of May)? (Hope that that's not too personal to ask!)

Correct dates
You got me wondering, so I checked back in my records, and I photographed bugs on the first of the month in Townsend in April then again in May. But they were different locations in Townsend, about 3 miles apart.

Okay -- funny how coincidence
Okay -- funny how coincidence is sometimes simply.. coincidence. You're welcome to send more precise location data, including lat. & long., if you want, but I simply put them both down as "Townsend".

Locations
The April 1 site was along the Squanacook River on rt 119 near the Ashby/Townsend line. The May 1 site was off Elm St. also near the Squanacook River, but more of a sandy pit, pine area.
