7 NOTES: This list comprises 77 species and one subspecies of butterfly known to have occurred in High Park up to the end of All of the species listed are known to or assumed to breed, or have bred, in High Park unless otherwise noted. Both the and scientific names used in this list are those found in Checklist & English Names of North American Butterflies, Second Edition, published by the North American Butterfly Association (NABA). Host plants listed for each species were taken from The Butterflies of Canada by R. A. Layberry, P. W. Hall and J. D. Lafontaine 1998, and The Ontario Butterfly Atlas by A. M. Holmes, Q. F. Hess, R. R. Tasker and A. J. Hanks ROM = Royal Ontario Museum. The species abundance designations are based on a typical year, and a skilled observer being in suitable habitat, in the appropriate season, under favourable weather conditions. It should be noted, however, that the population of any butterfly species can fluctuate dramatically from year to year, or even within a breeding season, due to a variety of environmental factors. abundant: recorded in large numbers on all visits; can't miss : normally recorded on all visits; hard to miss fairly : likely to be recorded on most visits un: present in small numbers; can be missed on most visits rare: can be less than annual in occurrence very rare: often several years between sightings; not to be expected Compiled by Bob Yukich November 2000; fourth revision June
