Subject: [MassLep] E Comma in Amherst for November Derby ;-)

Howdy folks,

As the dog and I returned from today=E2=80=99s walk along Amethyst Brook, a=
butterfly flushed from the side of our house. It fluttered over into some =
nearby brush and resumed basking, letting me get a few photos to confirm th=
at it was an Eastern Comma. A few minutes later it appeared in my wife=E2=
=80=99s vegetable garden, apparently scavenging some of the tomatoes that n=
ever got picked and have been slowly returning to the soil since the frost =
started here.=20

Cheers,

Josh
