This count circle includes the area from the Huachuca Mountains to the San Pedro River and Ramsey Canyon to the Mexican Border. The 2022 Ramsey Canyon  count, which has been run for 43 years, came in sixth place nationally with 74 species (just behind Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, OR with 75). It recorded 3 species which were found on no other count last year: Gold-costa Skipper (1 individual), Saltbush Sootywing (3 individuals) and Oslar's Roadside-Skipper (1 individual). The Ramsey Canyon count will be held on Tuesday, August 1 this year. Contact compiler Doug Danforth (dougofbis@gmail.com), if interested to participate.
