Fourth of July Butterfly Count

July 28th, 2014

Eighteen participants attended the 2014 MPG Ranch Fourth of July Butterfly Count. This educational and outreach event attracted experienced and novice butterfly enthusiasts alike.

A Great Spangled Fritillary and a Northern Checkerspot gather nutrients from animal scat. MK

During this year’s event we counted 35 species of butterfly and 814 individual butterflies. I compile and submit MPG’s butterfly count data to NABA, which uses the information to monitor long-term trends in butterfly populations. JP
