Butterfly-a-Thon: notes from the road #2


Robert Michael Pyle, a professional lepidopterist and a founder of the Xerces Society -- Defenders of Inveretebrates -- is on a year long travel project identifying butterfly species in the U.S. Bob is also a good writer, with several books published, and a fine lecturer with sense of humor.

We'll be following his journey from time to time, courtesy of the Xerces Society (see the Links page).

Here is a second batch of images and notes from Bob.
