The data in the following table show negative observations - from where observers didn't see any Red Admirals throughout the entire season. These observations are as valuable as actual sightings, because they help define the likely northern limits to which Red Admirals moved in 2002. Also included are reports from observers who only saw a few sporadic individuals during the entire summer.
