checklist surveys

[Laura Rogers-Castro]

I have butterfly checklist survey data for 4 wildlife managment areas.  All need to be surveyed a lot more (I know I am missing some common species), but coincidentally, the numbers are similiar and represent about 1/3 of Ct's total butterfly species.  (41, 39, 39, and 38 species).  All of the areas are a little different in their habitat and species diversity.  Does anyone have an opinion on what they would consider a butterfly "hotspot"?  I noticed West Rock has at least 80 species seen (Larry Gall in Butterflies through Binoculars).  I would certainly call that a butterfly hotspot!  But what would be considered commendable?  Thanks.
