[Additional information contributed by observer, added by Journey North, 09/21/21]:
Counts are done by counting individual butterflies as they hang. We spot light them after sunset and they are much easier to find/see/count. The plants we have for them to nectar on are Mexican sunflower, aster, butterfly bush, lantana phlox.
