Bart,
Thanks for the report and with numbers. These reports are the only way I
know what species are in an area and how many. Would not have known about
the Phaon's and others. I hope others will regularly do the same. My, you
got 75 Dainty's and not a single Sachem. Must be a county record.
Michael
