Celastrina neglectamajor

[dave norris]

Flight season for Celastrina neglectamajor in CT just began this afternoon.  After eight years of
searching, still only known from two towns in marble belt of mid-Fairfield County.  Host plants at
largest stand recently reduced by 50% due to house construction.  Working on saving what's left. 
Would like to hear about any other possible locations for neglectamajor in the state.  Adults
don't stray far from Cimicifuga.  A few hundred plants typically required to support a population,
fewer for a satellite colony.  Hope it's not too late for this species.  -  Dave Norris
