Sonora Skipper and Hoffman's Checkerspot Inventory in the Similkameen Drainage of Southern British Columbia, 2009  2009  In 2009, the BC Conservation Corps grassland species crew conducted inventories for these butterflies in the Similkameen drainage. The crew was trained by a local lepidopterist and conducted surveys in Manning Provincial Park and the Ashnola River area. Wandering transects were used to survey for species and their associated habitat. This resulted in the detection of one individual of each species. Voucher specimens were collected and species were identified based on descriptions in Guppy and Shepard (2000) to the best of surveyors' abilities; identification should be verified by an expert familiar with these species. These detections reconfirmed the presence of Hoffman's Checkerspot and Sonora Skipper in Manning Park. Few detections exist for these species in British Columbia. Additional inventory efforts are needed to better determine their distribution and associated habitat.  wsi_4626_rpt_2009SkipperCheckerspot.pdf (23.7 MB)
