Coordinator notes: Correct ID...a female. This answers my question from the sighting you submitted from the site north of Hwy. 34 at Granby-Grand Lake area. Certainly evidence of a second flight at both sites which may be partial or may not happen every year. Question: Between these two sites, how would you compare numbers of butterflies between this year and last? Mike
