Good point Chuck. I agree with you it is highly unlikely Bob
saw 85 Lorquin Admirals. I live in the Sierra Nevada foothills
not too far from Yosemite and California Sisters are far more
common than Lorquin Admirals. These two species so alike that one
sometimes has to get up pretty close to them to make a positive ID.
