The remainder of the butterflies reported on in Rayetta’s Butterflies are increasingly intermittent, or occur at much lower densities than the above. If you have any native plants nearby your habitation, and if you habitate south of the dammed river in the capital (sic) city of the Republic of Tejas, you may have lots of these butterflies, too.
