In the early part of the spring we were away from home and so did no 

 collecting at the Sallows. We sugared several times in June without any 

 success. In fact the only night that insects came to sugar was August 22nd. 

 During August, in spite of the hot weather, there were very few butterflies, 

 even such species as E. Janira and C. pamphilus, usually so abundant, being 

 scarce .
