Most of these bogs are described in the butterfly watching guide "The Fascinating Butterflies of Northwestern Wisconsin Bogs" by Ann Swengel that is posted at https://www.naba.org/chapters/nabawba/watching.html Freijas Fritllary and Red-disked Alpine counts were low at most sites. Twenty of the Freijas and 2 alpines were on a bog south of Miclchesky Road that we accessed about 2 miles (article says 1.75 miles but we now enter further west) west of County Hwy A at a landing.

Jutta Arctics will probably begin to be findable on the first sunny day after this.
