"By my calculation, there are 154 species of butterflies and skippers reported in Louisiana, with the latest addition, the Bordered Patch, occurring in October of 2012. Of the 154 total, there are 8 swallowtails, 5 whites, 13 sulphurs, 1 harvester, 14 hairstreaks, 9 blues, 1 metalmark, 2 danaids, 1 snout, 3 longwings, 3 fritillaries, 30 brushfoots, 41 grass skippers, 21 spread-winged skippers, and 2 giant skippers."--Chapter 1.
