Pinery butterfly count down
GRAND BEND - While the number of butterflies counted at Pin-
ery Provincial Park and area on June 28 is down from the previous
three years, butterfly enthusiasts shouldn't fret.
Park naturalist Terry Crabe said the numbers were down because
of spring blooming late.
"Everything's about two to three weeks behind normal," he. said.
"Nothing has caught up yet."
Crabe added that the sweltering heat of the counting day grounded
many butterflies. Another reason for the lower numbers was fewer
people were counting —.organizers wanted to limit counters to en-
thusiasts only to avoid logistical problems.
Results from the count (last year); 39 species (50); 3,962 in-
dividuals (5,801); 44 observers (97).
Two years ago saw the biggest numbers counted with 54 species, a
whopping 13,968 individuals and 66 observers. Crabe said 1995
must have been a good season with ideal weather for butterflies to
have their broods.
He said butterfly experts 1, year after year trends rather than
a single season's results when contemplating the health of butterfly
populations. While Pinery numbers may be down, Crabe noted, oth-
er areas throughout North America may be having banner butterfly
seasons.
