This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_0vmJQGBYxr2zc1B2wRg4tQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi, all- Four of us did our 11th annual Halifax area butterfly count today. As usual, there were some surprises and some same old. In the "surprise" category, we had Question Marks for the first time, Eyed Browns were up almost by a factor of ten over previous years, and large fritillaries were scarce (compared to previous years). As everyone now knows, Red Admirals are abundant this year, and we saw lots of Bog Coppers in 3 or 4 different bogs. As usual, European Skippers were the most numerous butterfly by far. We had a total of 22 species, as follows: Cabbage White 9 Pink-edged Sulphur 14 Bog Copper 16 Summer Azure 3 Great Spangled Fritillary 1 Aphrodite Fritillary 1 Atlantis Fritillary 5 Speyeria sp. 6 Harris Checkerspot 3 Northern Crescent 13 Question Mark 2 Red Admiral 23 White Admiral 2 Northern Pearly-eye 2 Eyed Brown 29 Common Ringlet 3 Monarch 2 European Skipper 414 Peck's Skipper 27 Tawny-edged Skipper 2 Long Dash 9 Hobomok Skipper 1 Dun Skipper 5 We did this in 4 party-hours, 4 party-miles.
