Butterflies You Might See in Los Alamos, and Some Fun Facts About Butterflies

In preparation for the 22nd Annual Butterfly Count, on the evening of August 5, butterfly enthusiast Roy Michelotti will present “Butterflies You Might See in Los Alamos, and Some Fun Facts About Butterflies”. Roy will discuss butterflies present in Los Alamos County, primarily those seen during recent Los Alamos annual butterfly counts. He will also present an overview of basic butterfly biology, behavior, life cycles, and some fun and unique facts about butterflies.

The talk is free to attend, and no advance registration is required.

Please also see the Dorothy Hoard Memorial Butterfly Count, to be held on Friday, August 8.

This year marks the 22nd Annual Butterfly Count in Los Alamos County, but this year the count carries a special meaning. This is the first such count since the passing of Living Treasure Dorothy Hoard, who initiated the Los Alamos County annual butterfly counts more than twenty years ago. As such, the annual butterfly count will from now on be known as the “Dorothy Hoard Memorial Butterfly Count”.
