I will be in Colorado searching for butterflies to photograph from June 23 to 
July 2.   I will be seeking out butterflies on the eastern slope and summits 
(if the passes are open by then) just west of Denver in the vicinity of Mt. 
Evans, Loveland Pass, Apex Park, etc.  Could someone who is familiar with 
this area tell me if the butterflies I have listed below can be found during 
this time period and in this area?  I have been using field guides to help me 
determine the time period and locations for these butterflies, but I know 
that these guides are often far too general and often not accurate.  I would 
also be delighted for any helpful hints that you can offer in locating them.  
Thank you.
