--00000000000061883b064b0eac32 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Fellow butterfliers, Jeff Pippen, Tom Howard, and I have been working hard entering many thousands of your butterfly records for 2025 into the huge database for the Butterflies of NC website: Butterflies of North Carolina <https://auth1.dpr.ncparks.gov/nbnc/a/accounts.php> We now have over 262,000 records for NC, which covers 33 years of data entry! One of the links on the website is the annual PDF of the 177 species in the state, and this is now the *33rd Approximation*. The second tab on the left takes you to the PDF, which contains the species accounts, county dot maps for both NC and SC, earliest and latest dates, highest counts, flight periods, etc., for each species. The full PDF is roughly 202 pages. Many of you probably save the PDF to your computer to have the county dot maps handy, especially as the website county maps show only the NC range. You should be aware of two new websites that we added in our listing this year -- one is the Carolina Butterfly Monitoring Program website, and the other is the Fauna Ventures website. Jeff Pippen should provide more information on his CarBMP website in a day or two. The second is Rob Gilson's butterfly tours website that lists a good handful of trips that some of you/us might want to take to see species outside of the Carolinas. The Websites listing is one of the tabs on the left side of the home page, as well. Enjoy the new PDF and the updated range maps and species accounts on the website. Good Butterflying in 2026!
