If you have been meaning to get out to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, and happen to also love butterflies, the National Park Service is hosting the second annual Marvin Schwilling Memorial Butterfly Count this coming June 26, 2010. This is a survey of many sites within Chase County including the Preserve, historical graveyards and Chase County State Fishing Lake.
I did this last year, and we saw many rare species of skippers and a large number of regal fritillaries. You do not need to be an expert to help, because knowledgeable experts will be on hand to help you identify anything you see.
