    Location: Frohring Meadows

    Wildlife Seen: Numerous butterflies & nectar plants Butterfly/nectar plant study

    Behavior Observed:

    Naturalist Renell Roebuck led a group study of butterflies and nectar plant sources for insects. Among the butterflies we caught were male Cabbage Whites (Pieris rapae). Among the nectar/plant sources we found were Coneflowers (genus Echinacea). Everyone who explores this park should be aware of these organisms and how to identify them.
