A team of five participated in this week's survey. The weather was cool and mostly cloudy. Butterflies that fly during relatively low temperatures are elegantly adapted to maximize heat retention around their flight muscles. Notice how hairy the bodies are on the basking butterflies shown below. Select Photos and Complete List of Sightings: Stiria intermixta (moth larva) photo by Dan Zinn Harrisina sp.
