I believe they're both there, but zampa is only trans-pecos in TX. My guess is that you have zampa. I don't know for sure, the westward range extent of ...

That's a good question. I am not quite sure what painted lady's do during the night, however, can add here share experiences regarding this matter: My...
It would be nice to know, but on the other hand I am very-very happy you cannot remember. At least it is not completely just my _own_ poor memory. Stan...

Things are beginning to pick up, bugwise in San Luis Obispo Co, CA. After the long cold winter (this said tongue-in-cheek by an ex Michigander), real warmth...
Kim and I had a wonderful month butterflying in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and San Diego County. Thanks to the kind help of Doug Aguillard, Bill Bouton,...

I went to Mira Mar Lake today to watch Western Tailed Blue. I was bit surprised how much they tend to stay close to their host plant. Looking at Audubon's...
