In a large community science effort, biologist Abbigail Merrill and colleagues collaborated with hundreds of students and other amateur science enthusiasts for more than three years to study how butterfly color and time of day relate to butterfly behavior. They found that butterfly color might influence behavior more than butterfly size does, and that butterflies were observed to feed more often in the morning than at any other time of day.
