Chris' Big Butterfly Year

[Charles V Covell Jr.]

Hi Chris and gang:

What, no Kentucky visit?  The Ky. Lepidopterists would welcome your
joining them in their fall field trip, which will probably be the
weekend after Labor Day weekend.  We normally record at least 60
butterfly species over the weekend.  Why not y'all join the Soc. of Ky.
Lepidopterists (a paltry $12 per year for online, $15 for paper,
newsletters), and join us.  We visited the newly discovered colony of
_Phyciodes phaon_ last Sept.  And we DO go for moths, too.   Dues go to
Les Ferge, Treasurer, whom you can contact at lesferge at gmail.com.

Butterflies are flying here at last in Gainesville, FL.  Spring is "just
around the corner."

Cheers, Charlie

Chris,

Why limit yourself to such a large extent? Do a big moth year over the
same route! ;)

Hello all,
 
I am in the process of planning a big butterfly year for myself.  Most
of my travels will focus on the Ohio River Valley, but I will be making
a trip to AZ (from Ohio) and back the first 18 days of September.  
 
I am hopeful that folks on the list can suggest some great places to go
lepping as I travel across the country.  I have also gleaned some ideas
from Bob Pyle's Mariposa Road book.  I will be on the motorcycle, so I
cannot do any major off roading, but short distances on gravel will be
ok if necessary.
 
Here is my general route-
 
First week of September:
central Ohio
central Indiana
central Illinois
southern Iowa
southern Nebraska
eastern & southern Colorado
northern & western NM
 
Mid-September:
southern NM
across TX on I-20
northern Louisiana
western Mississippi
western Tennessee
central KY, west to east
 
I would appreciate any and all suggestions.  Plus, if you would
recommend a route change, like northern Kansas rather than southern
Nebraska, please include that as well.  I hope to have a Facebook site
put together shortly that will list out the trips for the year. 
Hopefully some of you can join me at different sites!  THX in advance.
