I have not seen a butterfly in my yard for days.  I have many nectar flowers in 
my yard and usually have many butterflies using them at this time of year--but 
not this summer.  So I decided to go to Eddie Jones Park in southwestern Caddo 
Parish.  Surprisingly, there were quite a few species there.  Nothing unusual, 
but I saw a total of 24 species and it was nice to see them.  See the complete 
list below.
