I took part in the Beaver Creek Reserve butterfly count today, along
with Mom and my younger sister. We were paired up with three very
experienced butterfliers, who also knew their dragonflies and tiger
beetles. They were awesome! :) We counted for 4+ hours and came up with
a total of 18 butterfly species, 9 Odonata, and 4 tiger beetles. Not bad
considering it was overcast pretty much the whole time.
Here's the actual list:
