Has anyone seen the Little Yellow (Eurema lisa) in Connecticut this summer?
My students and I are hoping to examine potential larval defenses in
this species. We are interested in learning about any populations
that are accessible for field observation and collection of some
adults for lab rearing of caterpillars.
Also, if you encounter this butterfly and are willing to provide
live females, we would be most appreciative. They should be gently
captured, placed individually in glassine envelopes with collection
date and location recorded. The envelopes should be put in a sealed
plastic container that is humidified (damp cotton ball or tissue
paper, with excess water wrung out) and kept refrigerated. If you
then contact us (see below), we will arrange transport.
Thanks for your consideration of these requests,
Scott Smedley
