Writing this article in Sep- tember, our skipper numbers are still low. Only European Skip - pers, Northern Broken-Dash and Dun Skippers seem to be close to normal numbers. Swallowtail numbers were outstanding with 47 Black Swallowtails on the Northampton count and 46 Eastern Tiger Swallowtails on the North Worcester count. Bog Copper numbers were down. I believe IF some of the counts had been 2 or 3 days later, those numbers would have been closer to normal. Hairstreaks numbers were also very low except Coral Hair - streaks. The 85 on the Central Berkshire count might have set a record. The 7 Variegated Fritillaries were a nice surprise on the Falmouth count. Aphrodite Fritillaries were in low numbers. Even our usually common Pearl Crescents were in low numbers. Three Gray Commas on the Franklin Count were a nice surprise. Painted Ladies came in early and stayed strong in their numbers. By holding their counts on June 25th and July 2, North Essex and Central Franklin pulled out some late Indian Skippers. They should have been gone well before the count date. Central Berkshire led the way of nding 3 species NOT found on any other count: 34 Mustard Whites, 19 Acadian Hairstreaks and 1 Hickory Hairstreak. The Concord count found the only Bronze Copper, while Brewster found the only Juniper Hairstreak and Bristol found the only Horace’s Duskywing. Ten species were found only twice on the 14 counts. Blackstone Corridor led the way with the most number of but - teries, 2,806, but most of those were European Skippers. South Berkshire had only 35 INDIVIDUALS that were found on an off and on RAINY day. The Concord count led the way with 15 participants. Bristol 2 had only the compiler out counting. Thank you Mark Mello !!!! Mark Fairbrother, Tom Tyning and Joe Dwelly compiled TWO counts each. Thank you to each compiler. Pulling everything all together is not always an easy task. To the members of the Massa - chusetts Buttery Club, please consider joining one or more of the counts in 2018. You do not have to be an expert butterier, just know how to count. We would like to thank Karl Barry for compiling all the charts. Putting all those gures in those small columns is very time con - suming. THANK YOU Karl.

  • BUTTERFLY SURVEYS ARE IMPACTED by TIME of DAY Butterfly Surveys Are Commonly Used to Monitor the Abundance and Diversity of Butt

  • Host Suitability Studies of Douglas-Fir and White Alder to the Gypsy Moth Abstract Redacted for Privacy Approved: / F /Jeffrey C.Miller
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Gladwin Joseph for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presented on August 29 1989. Title: Host Suitability Studies of Douglas-fir and White Alder to the Gypsy Moth Abstract Redacted for privacy approved: / f /Jeffrey C.Miller Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii and white alder, Alnus rhombifolia, species that are prevalent in the Pacific Northwest, were fed to larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. Gypsy moth larvae from different familial lines (egg masses) from a single geographic population were evaluated on these hosts. The larvae were fed leaves from the two tree species characterized by different foliar levels of either nitrogen, moisture, phenols, or terpenes. Of the two tree species evaluated as hosts of the gypsy moth, white alder appeared to be a highly suitable host, whereas Douglas-fir was a sub-optimal host. Nitrogen and the allelochemics in the foliage affected larval development. On white alder, foliage from trees that had the higher phenolic levels resulted in increased larval survival and higher fecundity. On Douglas-fir, foliage high in nitrogen had lower phenolics and this resulted in increased larval survival and heavier pupae when compared to foliage with low nitrogen and high phenols. Performance of the gypsy moth on these hosts was affected by unknown intrinsic variation among familial lines. Larval survival and duration varied more than other developmental variables among larval familial lines. The variation in larval survival among familial lines was more pronounced in larvae fed Douglas-fir than those fed white alder. A developmental index involving developmental rate and pupal weight differed more for females among familial lines than for males, suggesting a differential sex response.

  • Book Review, of Systematics of Western North American Butterflies
    (NEW Dec. 3, PAPILIO SERIES) ~19 2008 CORRECTIONS/REVIEWS OF 58 NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLY BOOKS Dr. James A. Scott, 60 Estes Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80226-1254 Abstract. Corrections are given for 58 North American butterfly books. Most of these books are recent. Misidentified figures mostly of adults, erroneous hostplants, and other mistakes are corrected in each book. Suggestions are made to improve future butterfly books. Identifications of figured specimens in Holland's 1931 & 1898 Butterfly Book & 1915 Butterfly Guide are corrected, and their type status clarified, and corrections are made to F. M. Brown's series of papers on Edwards; types (many figured by Holland), because some of Holland's 75 lectotype designations override lectotype specimens that were designated later, and several dozen Holland lectotype designations are added to the J. Pelham Catalogue. Type locality designations are corrected/defined here (some made by Brown, most by others), for numerous names: aenus, artonis, balder, bremnerii, brettoides, brucei (Oeneis), caespitatis, cahmus, callina, carus, colon, colorado, coolinensis, comus, conquista, dacotah, damei, dumeti, edwardsii (Oarisma), elada, epixanthe, eunus, fulvia, furcae, garita, hermodur, kootenai, lagus, mejicanus, mormo, mormonia, nilus, nympha, oreas, oslari, philetas, phylace, pratincola, rhena, saga, scudderi, simius, taxiles, uhleri. Five first reviser actions are made (albihalos=austinorum, davenporti=pratti, latalinea=subaridum, maritima=texana [Cercyonis], ricei=calneva). The name c-argenteum is designated nomen oblitum, faunus a nomen protectum. Three taxa are demonstrated to be invalid nomina nuda (blackmorei, sulfuris, svilhae), and another nomen nudum ( damei) is added to catalogues as a "schizophrenic taxon" in order to preserve stability. Problems caused by old scientific names and the time wasted on them are discussed.
