Butterfly Bonanza

[Clay Taylor]

Rich -

    A few years ago (6 - 7?) we had a Long Dash while on a fall Haley Farms CBA Field Trip.   I was stunned to see it, but the obligatory Glassberg check confirmed the limited fall flight.   I think we vouchered the record for the Atlas project, but I am not positive.

  Lots of Amer Ladies and Monarchs were seen. Many of the butterflies were in perfect condition. The Long Dash was a tough sell but after much study(we did capture and box it) it was a unanimous decision. the butterfly was released after I/D was confirmed. Glassberg does state that there is a small brood in Aug. Sept. Curious if there have been any other sightings of Long Dash this late in the season.
