It was warm and sunny as twenty volunteers completed this week's survey. Some lepidopterans have two color forms, often seasonally influenced. During the winter, Orange Sulphurs display more dark scales dotting the undersides of their wings, Question Marks have rust-colored, rather than black, hind wings, and some emerald moths are brown instead of the usual green. All three examples are shown below.
