This looks like another 'almost expired' discussion.
But I'll add my two bits like I seem to be doing everywhere
on this site, with not too many replies. But I love those I do
get.

Maybe some still have time to do a butterfly poll


I sure do. I have a yard full of things to attract the little creatures. My favorite are the Monarchs who make their
3000 to 5000 mile trek to Mexico each autumn to mate in the
mountains of that country, and are now endangered by logging.
I plant milkweed which is their favorite food, laying eggson
it. Then come the caterpillars. Then the chrysalis's here in
Nebraska as well.
In the autumn I go to the Platte River (source of the name
Nebraska) and watch them migrate south. For two or three days
I watch, as I do other things. One at a time flies down the
river, being blown by south winds back north, it seems, more
than they get south: three stops forward, and two back.
All the way to Mexico. Amazing.
