Butterflies were good too: the Best Butterfly was seen right out of the chute: DINGY PURPLEWING! Nice also was the WHITE SCRUB-HAIRSTREAK, CASSIUS BLUE, and White-Striped Longtail. We also covered the nearby NABA Butterfly Park, where the standout was definitely the GRAY CRACKER but also nice were the Desert Zinnia (Zinnia acerosa), and the Blackfoot Daisy pointed out by Carol Goolsby, the manager there.

But also great were the butterflies: FIVE MEXICAN BLUEWINGS, a Dorantes Longtail, two CYNA BLUES, a CASSIUS BLUE, but best of all a BROAD-BANDED SWALLOWTAIL..
