Fifteen participants in six groups counted butterflies as part of the 2010 Southern Lake Norman NABA Count on August 15. The day was mostly overcast with only brief periods of sunshine. Temperatures generally held in the upper 70's to low 80's, (as did the humidity levels it
seemed) depending on the cloud cover. We did not see the sun until 11:30 AM. Heavy showers developed by 2:30 PM and effectively ended the day for most groups.

Thanks to a record number of participants and amount of coverage, 56 species were tallied.
