Title: Information Sheet, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
Information Sheet, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
On the glorious, cool, breezy, sunny day of 15 July 2004, Ms. Pat Durbin lead a group (from the national meeting of the Lepidopterists’ Society) to observe butterflies at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park which is in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia.
We saw several bird, 33 butterfly, several dragonfly, 100s of plant, several moth, and other species.
Seventy-four butterfly species are known from the Park based on Pat’s survey of 2002–2003.
We captured some butterfly specimens for closer observation, and released all of them.
Thank you, Pat, for a great trip!
