*Stratford Point1207 Prospect DriveStratford, CT 06615*

*This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the
Connecticut Butterfly Association. Please join us for the celebration of
this special milestone. To mark the occasion, we are having a special event
– a luncheon followed by a presentation by Rick Cech: Butterfly Taxonomy in
the New World – A New World for Observers.*

*An active field naturalist, author, and photographer, Rick Cech is an
affiliate curator at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History in
Entomology. He is the principal author and photographer of Butterflies of
the East Coast: An Observer’s Guide (Princeton, 2005), and wrote A
Distributional Checklist of the Butterflies and Skippers of the New York
City Area.*

*It has taken some decades for the promise of DNA-based analysis to reach
maturity. Recently, the family relationships of butterflies have been much
clarified, an effort drawing on the work of multiple international
contributors. For observers, the rewards of this effort can be personal as
well as intellectual – helping finally sort out some long-confusing tangles
among butterfly groups, especially in the Neotropics. Join Rick for a
photo-illustrated tour of some recent revelations.*


*The luncheon will be catered by Bella Napoli. The cost is $10 per person
payable by check to the Connecticut Butterfly Association, c/o Lenny Brown
