An Evidence-Based Checklist of the Butterflies and Skippers of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
An Evidence-Based Checklist of the Butterflies and Skippers of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. 1993-2008
The main objectives of the project were to compile an evidence-based checklist of butterflies and skippers recently observed in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and to voucher these species with high resolution, digital photographs. Wander Ecological Consultants developed an evidence-based checklist of butterflies and skippers for Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Eighty-eight species and one subspecies were documented by one or more observations made during 79 field trips, from 1993-2008. Each species was assigned nativity, relative abundance, residency, and breeding status based on data definitions from the National Park Service’s NPSpecies database. Thirty-three taxa, including two of special interest, were vouchered by digital images.
