They are usually in good numbers in Elk Necks State Park and best near 
Turkey Point. Because of the Pawpaw stiuation along the bay they can still 
be found easily. It does seem that populations are far better near Washington 
DC. I did receive a call from one concern that wanted to thin the population 
out. Lets review. Too many butterflies, isn't that like winning the lottery 
and saying that the money is too green?!?!?!?
