Butterflies are charismatic insects that critical pollinators for plants humans and wildlife depend on; however, butterflies have some of the largest measured declines. Two iconic in USA, Regal Fritillary (Argynnis idalia) Monarch (Danaus plexippus), proposed protection due to decreasing numbers from overexploitation, agricultural activities, disease development. We surveyed 145 sites walked 557 km mid-June August 2019 2021 create baseline information fill knowledge gaps these species. observed 16,986 individuals identified 52 species butterflies. Generally, were more abundant at lower wind speeds areas with higher forb cover less bare ground. locations taller grass, bloom densities, forbs, 11 Fritillaries 31 Monarchs extending northeastern southeastern Wyoming a variety habitats. The predicted suitable habitat was highly influenced by sagebrush mean temperature wettest quarter according distribution models. Our results provide managers about status, distribution, use previously un-surveyed area. Historical butterfly surveys limited mountain ecosystems, we on characteristics support highest abundances most prairie ecosystems can be compared future efforts.
