What are the butterflies of the prairie?

Background information 

 This unique tallgrass prairie restoration experiment connects high school and university students, teachers, and scientists through research, education, restoration, and community engagement. The prairie consists of a variety of plants and creatures, with there being birds, butterflies, snakes, spiders, and more. The food chain consists of multiple producers, there being lots of grass and other various plants. The tertiary consumers consists of spiders, grasshoppers, flies, and more. Secondary consumers would be the frogs and birds. Finally, the primary consumers would be the snakes.

There are few abiotic factors that occur within the prairie restoration. There is water, rocks, warmth, space, and more. These are key parts of an environment as you need abiotic and biotic factors to form a healthy environment. The prairie restoration has a lot of interspecific competition between the animals, as well as some intraspecific competition between some plants and producers in the environment.

Procedure  

Some of us walked around the flower plot and looked, the other person stayed at the dubble flower plot and looked for butterflys. 

Conclusions 

Our experiment lasted from the 25th to the 28th, and we went to the prairie to observe only twice. The first day we collected no data. The second day, we saw two highlighter, green-yellow butterflies. A bigger one and a smaller one, who were flying kind of as a pair so they may have been related. We believe we didn't collect much data because of the weather, and how late in the year it was. All of the plants had died from the cold, and there was no point in the butterflies being there anymore. They emigrated to the south.
