Coordinator notes: I laughed about a Cabbage Butterfly in your backyard. I doubt a big crowd will show up looking for that species. That said I was on Mt. Ashland, Oregon June 29th and 30th and I did collect a Cabbage Butterfly just because it was in Oregon!-Ken Davenport (I live far away from Oregon in Bakersfield, CA.
