MBC October Butterfly Derby - Week 1

The Massachusetts Butterfly Club is hosting an "October Derby".   One of the members will keep track of all the reported sightings, by species, and provide a count at the end of the month.  Since the club is only tracking data at the club level, I thought I'd keep my own records here.  (copy of club records seen through 10/6 can be found at the bottom of post)
