  Butterfly stroke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The butterfly, (fly for short) is a swimming stroke swum on the breast, with both arms moving simultaneously.
The peak speed of the butterfly is even faster than that of the front crawl, due to the synchronous pull/push with both arms, yet since speed drops significantly during the recovery phase, it is overall slightly slower than the front crawl.
Therefore, the butterfly arms with a breaststroke kick were used by a few swimmers in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin for the breaststroke competitions.

 Intro
The converted decimal degree coordinates of the butterfly data to latitude and longitude illustrated that the data were generally rounded to the nearest minute and often to the nearest five or ten minute interval (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
The proportion of the testing set of butterfly records identified as "core" areas, areas that have climatic values within the 10 to 90 percentile of locations with training records present, was generally less than 0.6 (Figure 8).
Host plant distribution was identified using the formula number of host plant records divided by the number of BEC stations divided by the total area of the biogeoclimatic ZSVP for the three butterfly species (Figure 9).

Some records have been mislaid, particularly from Roger Wykes; the full details of the impressive survey of butterflies in Ann Arbor's natural areas coordinated by David Cappaert are not available to me; and, to tell the truth, data entry fatigue with regard to small numbers of common species has set in.
