Checkerspot on the news

Would that be the Chalcedon checkerspot, do you think? You can buy them
at the site cited above; no problem. The list here seems to be rather
longer and more complicated than the one Paul gave us. 
Truth may not be an absolute, as we express it, but sometimes we can
come pretty close to it. 
On the other hand, at $10 a bug, I don't suppose enough will be released
to matter. And there are enough grackles around to appreciate the
gesture. 
I hoped that the article referred to would be easy to find, doing a
simple search, but this is too depressing. Sorry.
I have bluebells and robins.
