Three surveys of 4 days each were conducted from September 2012 to March 2013, using aerial nets and baited traps, that recorded 377 butterflies from 97 species. About 81 % (303 butterflies) of the captures were from the Nymphalidae, comprising 61 species, followed by the Lycaenidae with 24 individuals from 16 species. Baited traps captured less butterflies (163 compared to 214 by aerial traps), all from the Nymphalidae indicating that the method may have limitations in such studies.
