I am a fourth year Environmental Science student at UW. This summer I’m excited to be working on the Meadoway project studying the interaction between butterfly larvae and native plant species. I am also going to be studying the interaction between adult butterflies and native plant species, and I plan to use this data for my senior honours thesis. I am interested to see how butterfly presence in the Meadoway is altered by the bloom period of differing plants and seeing how many larvae I can find on a single plant!
