Creighton University’s Dr. Ted Burk recently made a presentation about Monarchs and Regal Fritillaries to students of the UNL entomology program about observations he and his students have made while surveying for the two species over the past 20 years or so. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about these two butterflies, I think you will still find some nuggets of new information watching it. Here is the link. Watch it ASAP as they drop the link after it’s been up for a while.
Also, over the past winter Jonathan Nikilla and I have been busy building out a new feature for our website which will show lists of butterfly species that have been reported in each of Nebraska’s 93 counties. It’s not quite ready to roll out yet but we hope to have it available in the not-too-distant future. We’ll let you know when it is up and running.
Enjoyed the talk. Liked the information it delivered.
The presentation was very interesting. Thanks for sharing it!
