Aren't there any butterflies anywhere?

[Michael Gochfeld]

With the rapid shift in temperature from the 90s to the 40s, the number of
Cabbage Whites (Pieris rapae) in our yard has declined from an average of 4
per hour to about 0.5/hour.  However, Wild Turkeys are still coming to our
bird feeding area.  We have not witnessed any interactions between Turkeys
and Butterflies.
