Results of yesterday's Putnam County West butterfly count are copied below. One
new species was added to those found during eight previous counts in this
circle. The species total tied the highest total for this count; the total of
individuals was highest ever. The second brood of Lace-winged
Roadside-Skippers apparently eclosed recently, as they were counted in higher
numbers than during any of the previous eight counts. The entry for Common
Checkered Skipper should probably be Common/White Checkered Skipper.
