This was the 25th year for the Sandhill/Seneca count. Acadian Hairstreak, Great Spangled Fritillary, Northern Crescent, Mourning Cloak, Eyed Brown and Monarch have been seen on each of the 25 counts. Thank you to everyone that helped this year. 34 species and 669 individuals were seen. We came across a large spider with her back covered in babies. She looked more like a bumpy toad when she moved.
