  1. That is a very impressive list. This was my best year, but I only manages 62 species. I think it will be a long time before I beat that. We are thinking about a holiday to Florida in a couple of years. That may help my butterfly list!

    1. I'll be visiting Florida this winter and hope to add some new species then! I know people who try to reach 100 species just within the state of Massachusetts. That would be quite a challenge!

    2. I'll be very interested to hear about what you see. It may give me an idea of what will be there in summer 2016!
