Wood Nymphs: banner year??

[Chris J. Durden]

Wood Numphs (here in Austin TX, *Cercyonis "pegala" texana*) are not having
a banner year. None were found on today's Austin Urban Butterfly Count
(19th annual) although I saw one last week in the landscaping outside Whole
Foods Market. Here they are double brooded every year, unlike those to the
north and I expect numbers to build up again in the fall. They may be doing
better in Mexico (Coahuila and Nuevoleon) as the weather has been kinder
there in the past few weeks.
