The team observed in 2017 the same population of the species and 2018 looked for evidence of caterpillars and brooding pairs of Pearly Eye. They determined the caterpillars were feeding on the known host species and when the broods appeared. Evidence of the numbers of butterflies using this habitat will allow them to continue next
