Notes:
The above represents the list of all butterfly species I have previously
seen in Kingston
Note 1: Since the first sighting
Brimstones were seen on most days until mid-June
Note 2: This is the first of this
species seen in Kingston by me since June 2004
Note 3. A first ever sighting of this
species in Kingston by me but it now appears possible that one was seen last
year.
