Transect monitoring and area searches led to the development of an on-line Web-based NIOC Sugar Grove Butterfly Checklist which provides an illustrated on-line checklist of breeding butterflies of NIOC Sugar Grove.

A Printable NIOC Sugar Grove Butterfly Checklist is also available as an Adobe PDF version for printing and free distribution
