Impressive 4th of July counts of "Endangered" migrant monarchs.

[Charles V Covell Jr.]

We held our 24th July 4th count in Oldham Co., KY on Sat. July 1.  We
recorded 38 species and 1,264 individuals.  Not one _Vanessa_ of any of
the 3 expected species was seen this year!  Cheers, Charlie Covell

While Monarchs have been doing pretty well in southeast Michigan this 
season, all three Vanessa species have been extremely scarce. In fact no
one 
who reports sightings for the Greater Washtenaw County Butterfly Survey
has 
spotted a Painted Lady yet this year. Definitely it is the worst year
for 
Vanessas in the survey's 12 year history.
