Butterflies in general remain elusive in our neck of the woods, so we weren=
't optimistic about being able to add a species to the October Derby list. =
But today, in addition to a few Clouded Sulphurs, we found one very fresh E=
astern Comma at a tree farm with diverse habitat in Ware.
Can fellow Mass Leppers please confirm that it was Frank Model (I think) wh=
o started the October Derby concept?=C2=A0 Also, I'd like to know how many =
years it's been going on. I know the information is out there somewhere, bu=
t personally I've lost track. I want to include a blurb about the Derby in =
the October newsletter for Ware River Nature Club.=C2=A0 Thank you!
