Sampling comments: "Butterfly surveys were conducted at each prairie site approximately every three weeks throughout the summer of 2015... A modified Pollard walk technique was used walking at a slow steady pace following a meandering transect established within each site... All butterflies observed within 10 m of the observers were recorded... Butterflies not identified in flight were netted for closer examination and released in the field if possible"
