"Two teams of three people (rarely four or two people) each worked in the field daily from 09.00 to 16.00 hours... except when it was raining, from 25 April to 26 June 2009. Each team surveyed... two plots every day" out of the four plots in the study, and there were "232 person-days" over the two pairs of two plots, so there were 116 person-days and about 39 days for this plot
collectors "tried to record and capture all the butterflies found there. They were marked... then released" and it is not clear what kind of nets were used, but I assume butterfly nets
