Prairie Ridge State Natural Area Survey of

Butterflies, Skippers and Dragonflies

By Richard Day

Survey Methods, Materials and Results

�

Between July 6, 2006 and Oct 8, 2007 I surveyed Prairie Ridge State Natural Area in Marion and Japser counties for butterflies and odonata. I photographed all species for this survey. I collected some odonates with an aerial insect net, and those species are listed on page 18. After collection, I removed the specimens from glassine envelopes, euthanized them in acetone, and placed them in an acetone bath for 12-24 hours. These were air-dried and promptly sent to Tim Cashatt at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, Illinois.

A total of 49 species of butterflies and 24 species of dragonflies and damselflies were recorded during this time period. A complete checklist is found on page 6.
