I was recently surprised to find more than 100 Ceraunus Blue butterflies in the north tract. Today I found more than 300.
They were nectaring on whatever was available, though Polygonella myriophylla was where the large concentrations lay. They were also on two species of Asclepias, Solidago sp. and Polanisia tennufolia and other assorted plants.
I did this survey in the afternoon heat. Next time I'll bring more water. It was brutal out there.
