Abstract:

These data document observed presence of butterflies in selected transects throughout the Rim Fire boundary in the Stanislaus National Forest, California. Data were collected from 2014 to 2015. Records for each year reflect five visits at about 10-14 day intervals from late May or early June through late July. Data include species detected, date, location, whether the individual was taking nectar, and if so, the nectar source and location.
