We had several members from CO that posted regularly, but lately, nothing. Anyone know what's up?
I'll be in Colorado Springs next week, wondering what's flying and where to go.

Still here but haven't had much time to get out.
Here is a couple habitats photos from a high elevation grassland in South Park which had a decent flight of Oeneis alberta oslari.
Lost Park Rd
Park Co. CO
June 5, 2024
About 9,500 feet
And the target.

My son lives in CO Springs. He's not a collector but he sometimes catches bugs for me. I hope to do some collecting there soon. I'll be looking for CO hairstreaks. Let us know where you went and what you caught. If you're not aware of the May insect museum, it's worth a visit. Just outside of CO Springs.

Although I don't live there, right about now would be around the peak of the blacklighting season in the mountains for things like Hyalophora gloveri and Agapema homogena. It's a bit too early for great Hemileuca collecting, which would probably be in early to mid-August. 2 years ago it was absolutely crazy.
