Cold, wet spring decrease in butterflies. I have some in my yard this year but not as many as in years past and I attribute it to the cold wet spring. Lots of bees, allkinds, and humming birds.

That's probably true. Butterflies are "solar powered" creatures--they cannot fly until sufficiently warmed by the sun. Really.
