Rhode Island Butterfly Count Results

Aug 5, 07:34 PM

The final results for the Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s 7th annual North American Butterfly Association Count have been released.

“We had terrific results!” said July Lewis, Audubon’s Volunteer Coordinator. “We counted 51 species of butterflies. It was a good year in general because of the warm weather, but the reason we had such a huge jump in total numbers is all due to the Baltimore Checkerspot.” More details available at the Audubon Society
