Butterflies Seen

Before getting to the results I just want to say thank you once again for coming out.  Each group contributed rather significantly to the overall total number of species, as witnessed by the high number of single sightings.  We had record numbers of 2 species: Orange Sulphur (80) and Golden-headed Scallopwing (158).  New for the summer count was a Tropical Leafwing.
