The recent Houston NABA butterfly count showed decreased numbers of individual butterflies this July compared with past years. The big variable between this and other count years is the unending rain since the second week of June. Interstingly the 2005 count was marked by record rainfalls leading up to it, but the 2006 count occurred amidst a record drought. If any of this is attributable to human activity, we are going to have to start worrying about at least some invertebrates (not Asian tiger mosquitoes, however). This summer my neighborhood is also characterized by an irruption of Eastern narrowmoth toads, which sound like a high-pitched, buzzing, pig squeal. I am told by neighbors that they are finding pools of water in open areas that are crowded with tadpoles. I hear distant thunder even as I type this, despite bright-blue skies at the beginning of the day. Sheesh.

I'm pretty keen on butterflies (of Europe), and you can see them at my site. Welcome!

I found your post through Circus of the Spineless. This species is also struggling on the southern edge of its range in the US. I recently blogged about a conservation project in Illinois.
