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
