The weather was cold and sunny for our first survey after a winter break that was very mild, with no hard freezes. We had five participants. The odd legs for which the brush-footed butterflies (nymphalidae) are named are not usually easily observed. The image of a red admiral shown below, though, gives a good view of these fuzzy appendages.
